It seems that your manager is very supportive of you and your career. I can only imagine that she will continue to be supportive of you to follow your career goals and dreams even if you are not going to be at the company. That’s what great leaders do, they help grow their teams so they can continue to accomplish great things, no matter where that is.

At the end of the day, it’s just business, if it were the other way around and they had to make a decision to let you go for the good of the business they would. It’s nothing personal!

Best of luck, and I hope you secure funding and build an amazing company :)
