Confessions

I left a high paying, stable job to be a co-founder in a startup, which is about to die. And… I'm SO thrilled. I cant wait to go back to my old job. I should be embarrassed for failing but I'm too excited to not have the world on my shoulders

Good for you!

It was horrible at first, but once I came to terms with it, killing my startup was best thing I ever did for myself. I'm gearing up to work on another one... but I'm taking my time about it because I'm LOVING the peace of zero expectations :)

I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.

I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won’t touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I’d be fully funded by now.

I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can’t get over the way we met.

Have worked for 4 startups that all crashed and burned for unrelated reasons not having to do with me. I now consult for cash only, and I can’t imagine working as an employee again. I’m happier and richer. Am I alone?
