First time I heard "cockroach" used to describe start up founders is in this article by Paul Graham. http://paulgraham.com/guidetoinvestors.html http://paulgraham.com/guidetoinvestors.html "Apparently the most likely animals to be left alive after a nuclear war are cockroaches, because they're so hard to kill. That's what you want to be as a startup, initially. Instead of a beautiful but fragile flower that needs to have its stem in a plastic tube to support itself, better to be small, ugly, and indestructible." By the way, you go girl! Best of luck. I admire and applaud your persistence. Keep going. I believe you can do it.
