But here’s the truth: You’ve set yourself up for at least a year of incredibly hard work, racing against the clock with no instruction manual and barely any experience or funding. Working on your idea every day is exhausting, and most of that work won’t be on revolutionary features or speaking with legendary venture capitalists. Don’t stop.

I’ll spare you the details, but it involved multiple layoffs, a founder split, brief homelessness, extended brokenness, multiple bridge rounds, a broken engagement, and other personal and professional obstacles.
