Comment on How To Build Something Real (In Your Spare Time)

Comments

For me and my company, my ability to finish things has had a lot more to do with me believing in the project.

In my limited experience, you don't invest your time or your money into a startup. You invest yourself. You sacrifice your health, your relationships, and your political capital to make it work. And you don't do that because you have to or you want to. You do that because you only have one goal, and that's getting your company off the ground.

There's nothing that I've ever invested myself in so fully as my company, aside perhaps from my marriage.
