- rrr_oh_man 2y agoIt's really good to read those stories. I applied twice (once alone, once with a really amazing co-founder) and it felt like applying to a large faceless corporation, both times. Automatic rejection after 30 days with zero feedback. Kind of sucky, to be honest. I'd just love to hear that the idea was shit, the application was shit, that my face was ugly, or anything, really.

- firefax 2y agoI keep forgetting there's a front page to this website. What a cool story!
- whiplash451 2y agoQuick bump for The Social Radars which is an amazing podcast co-led by Jessica. A treasure trove of true startup stories.
