i literally cried when i read that post - thank you so much for sharing about your experience with Hansoo and your experience starting a company. its really great to hear about such a personal experience and now his legacy will most certainly live on.
Absolutely love the transparency. It's nice for founders to know that everyone else (even some of the best!) aren't always crushing it...but I'm betting you'll crush it next time around :) Good luck!
From my limited experience, having cofounders helps with rules 11. Don't get demoralized and 12. Don't give up. Now, I'm not saying you can't abide by these rules without cofounders but having them around keeps the momentum going. One of us is always full-speed ahead.
