Raj
I was living in Washington, DC 10 years ago exactly. I was near penniless, was living off of my girlfriend’s meal card at American University, and had little prospects for the future on my 22nd birthday. But I was brave —– I soldiered on, joined a startup as an early employee and stayed with them for nearly 10 years through an IPO and 2 acquisitions.
10 years later and I’m doing the same thing again —– I’m betting it all. I moved into my parents basement, gathered some money, quit my job, reduced my personal expenses dramatically and then I started a company —- whatever it takes to succeed. We’re onto something huge and we’re moving at breakneck speed to show it to the world. Hopefully, we’ll be able to do that soon.
