Not saving enough.

thomaspun | 11 years ago | on: The Social Radar: What I Did at Y Combinator

One thing I told others about why YC is unique: Although technically they are our investors, they are more like parents which you could always go back no matter what shitty situation you have got yourself into. We were one of the last few batches with the original YC team and Jessica always had a way to cheer you up during weekly dinner.

thomaspun | 11 years ago | on: My startup failed, and this is what it feels like

Thank you for sharing your story.

My YC startup failed two years ago and it still has an impact on me. I learned a lot and wish I knew what I know now back then. My cofounders parted ways within one year of YC and I became a self made single founder. One of the biggest mistakes was not taking breaks. I thought I had to work twice as hard to compensate. It just went into this vicious cycle: depressed & tired -> not productive -> worked every waking moments -> depressed & tired.
