𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬: I left Amazon to build my first startup.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟭: 70-hour weeks, no holidays… 0 customers.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮: Left my company. Tried again - and failed for the same reason.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯: Started @fluently_app. Almost ran out of cash. Tried to raise funds. Got 20+ rejections from investors.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: Got into Y Combinator. Raised $2M+. Pivoted the product 3 times... still couldn’t crack growth.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱:
- Scaled Fluently revenue 20+ times.
- Hit $1M ARR. Still growing 100%+ MoM
Nobody posts about staring at Stripe dashboards stuck at $0.00 or about another failed pitch when your bank account is almost empty.
It took me 5 years to learn how to build something people actually want.
So don't quit early. You might be one iteration away from getting it right 💪
