The start up I co-founded two years ago was taken out of my hands. The CEO is ruining it and lots of people are unhappy. This is not my child anymore. I feel empty inside.

I can understand you! I was in the same situation two years ago. The CEO knew everything better and had zero experience. Finally, I left and 2 months later there was chapter 11.

More Confessions

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?
