Reflecting on My Failure to Build a Billion-Dollar Company

Refreshing. I'd like to see more "anti-survivor" articles so the survivor bias gets toned down.

Yep, I was braced for more failed-but-really-succeeded porn.

This is a great read, and clearly from the heart.

Isn't that what this is though? Sure he failed to build a billion dollar business, but his business is still way more successful than most. Lots of people would certainly kill to attain this level of failure.

I certainly recognise failure is a very personal thing, but from the outside looking in this looks like a success overall, even though I'm sure it was completely gut wrenching along the way.

Kind of. Usually these trope-filled stories make a mountain out of some small setback, but this story genuinely feels like the company had some major setbacks.
