  • Interesting as I am at Techstars and work in Edtech. I can relate with my first company I founded, but have changed my perspective since. It’s really difficult to be in that position. I also don’t have a family to fall back on, and at least with the money you can transition if it’s a lucrative project based on its utility. I don’t know the number of employees in your organization, or the background as to the story, but I will say it’s also hard to to align your passions with a project that can support your life. I felt so confused when I was in the same position and criticism of the product went from me transmuting it into new features or pulling back on something as opposed to going through existential crisis as well as crisis of conscience. Arghhhhh so frustrating and difficult!!!





  • You may need a cofounder, and some advisors to help you with some of this internal work that keeps you stuck. I host at an accelerator and typically they do like a matchmaking service. If you live near a big city it makes it easy, but even you don’t there are lots of match making services, and you can always go to Score if you are in the US for a mentor so that you can build a supportive feedback system for yourself. Hope that helps
