I almost quit my startup too soon. In February 2009, I quit my job to go full time on my startup in anticipation of closing an angel round. The next week, the financing fell through. For the next six months, I was teetering on the edge of ramen profitable - with very little ramen and very little revenue growth. I seriously considered quitting, and in retrospect, there was really no compelling evidence indicating that I shouldn't quit. Today, my company is doing quite well - we are 100% bootstrapped, profitable, high seven figures of revenue, 34 employees, and good continued growth prospects. Looking back on 2009, I still feel like I should have quit at that point; I got lucky by sticking it out. I got lucky because I found it easier to muster the courage to keep trying than muster the courage to walk away. I almost quit too soon, and every day I feel incredibly lucky that I didn't.
