I want to hear your story on how you built your startup.
I'm working on a startup myself, and would like to learn & share lessons from various entrepreneurs on their venture experiences. I'm trying to get my startup off the ground, plus a full time job, so it's a difficult journey ahead.
I figured I'd take all the stories and put them up somewhere, so I created http://buildingof.com http://buildingof.com , which focuses on sharing an inside look at the toil and hard work that goes into creating a startup. At this point, I'm interested in talking with founders that have interesting stories to share and help everyone learn a thing or two along the way.
- dchuk 12y agoYou should post YOUR story then, as an example of what's to come, and to encourage others to join you in sharing their stories.
- ziyadb 12y agoGood observation. I suppose that there's this expectation that one must achieve success first before a viable story is created. I think that we, as a community, need to change that. As personally, the stories, & anecdotes that I've benefitted from the most were mostly shared by entrepreneurs still in the trenches--in the process of building their startups. Plus to be fair, I haven't quite gotten anything "going" yet.
- dchuk 12y agoAs someone who has had a few successes and a few failures, I find both types of stories to be interesting to be honest. An informed story of failure can be just as enlightening as the flip-side. Plus, there's nothing to learn from serendipitous success other than "be there at the right time with the right idea".
