The Miracle of Life.io Tweet
i met my cofounder in college
it was quickly obvious how well we worked together
so we decided to make it official
we incorporated in delaware
and soon began ideating
our first few attempts failed
but finally an idea stuck
after 20 weeks we shared a beta version
and after 9 months we launched our minimum viable product
we made sure to post about it on product hunt
after launch we encountered several bugs
and were often up all night responding to complaints and requests
we fought a lot because of the stress
but seeing our startup grow made it all worth it
we were so excited to go through y combinator
as time went on we learned the fundamentals
and began to meet important benchmarks
as our startup continued to grow
we encountered scaling issues
a few early partnership opportunities arose
but we thought they were mostly a waste of resources
we were focused on our startup pitching to vcs
we talked to several of the top firms*
and luckily one gave us a lot of money to keep going
before long, so many people were involved in our startup
we sometimes felt like it wasn't even our company anymore
and when our startup accepted an acquisition offer
our exit was bittersweet
we were very proud of what we had accomplished
...and though we never built a new startup...
taking on advisor roles was a lot of fun
* let me guess, your school was not on here. sorry, the name was probably too long.
