Hey Jesse, great post though I'm sorry to hear about your startup. If you need a place to crash, I have a spare room for friends who are starting companies, folding companies or just passing through the Valley. Feel free to get in touch anytime.
In the meantime, thought you might like this quote from a piece Michael Arrington wrote a while back:
"Some of the richest people I know aren’t really entrepreneurs. They worked at HP and then moved to Netscape when it got hot. They made a fortune and then jumped to Google and made another fortune. And now they’re jumping to Facebook.
They may be very good engineers, or sales people, or marketing, or execs. But they ain’t entrepreneurs. They’re just resume gardening and they’re really no different from everyone else.
I don’t care if you’re a billionaire. If you haven’t started a company, really gambled your resume and your money and maybe even your marriage to just go crazy and try something on your own, you’re no pirate and you aren’t in the club."

- zainny 14y agoThe title of the article should really be "Are you a Broken Human Being?"
- guylhem 14y agospot on. And leave the deniers be happy in their mindless happy existence. They may look as good or even better (richer) but it ain't the true thing.
