Feels like forum! I guess so… Some context: My grandpa was my first business mentor. He ran our family business… a small town funeral home. My grandpa got so sick that everyone in my family was flying home for his expected passing. But I had one last meeting before going home. I should’ve canceled, but it was a Monday morning partner meeting at a VC firm that I’d been working to get for a while. We had very little cash left at a previous company and it was one of those times when we didn’t deserve a new round, but needed it. One of the investors says, “it seems like you’d rather just shut it down.” And he chuckled. I wanted to skewer him in front of the partners, but given the circumstances, my soul and my tear ducts said, “you’re right”, while I said nothing. There was some truth in his comment at that moment. And it stung. I eventually got it together and finished the meeting, but I’m sure by that point most people were on to emails. I’ll get over it someday.🤞

Thanks for sharing that. Just like YEO minus the confidentiality. Yeah you will get over it. I won't tell you how long it took me to recover from a failed enterprise. Sometimes still wonder how da f did we mess that up. Time is helpful. Godspeed Will drop my 😥 story later this afternoon. (not startup related)

Can’t wait to hear it! The comment stung, but on the biz side, it was an important step in the journey… so we’ve accepted the L.
