I've had many sad blog post lately. It's been a very hard December in my personal life. In my startup life, my team did not make the cut into Dreamit Philly. Dreamit sent an email that said they had received an unusually large amount of submissions this go around.
After a couple of days of feeling bummed about not making it. I'm back working on Passdown. Of course all those thoughts of doubt had encased me all weekend and I was wondering if I wanted to continue this build. We are going to face constant rejection's. Building a startup is a brutal endeavor that often ends in failure. Not only are you solving a problem for people, you have to solve about a eleven thousand other problems just to get to the created product. This is what us treps do. We solve problems.
We also discover as we build. One of our team members Tesmond has seen another insight that Passdown can be, or added in addition to it. I love it. It's something I had not thought of but it's absolutely perfect for Passdown.
As I had people come and go in my last startup, I never really had a team. However this build I have three beautiful extremly smart young men who want to be apart of this startup. I'm incredibly grateful and honored by them. I hope none of them go. As we spend time building while working our day jobs, we have a journey to conquer together not without extreme challenges, and a few hundred rejections.
Can't wait to see who win's The Voice, and purchase the music from all those who did not. They inspire me.
