Investors were supportive when I decided to pivot from our game store after realizing it wasn't worth the investment, showing their confidence in our ability to figure things out.

When a startup is failing, it's important to communicate openly with investors and ensure that employees are not left in the dark.

I had to make tough decisions during a crisis, including shrinking the team and raising funds, which ultimately extended our runway and allowed us to launch successfully despite market challenges.

I communicated transparently with my team and investors about our financial situation, ensuring everyone understood the challenges we faced.

After facing significant setbacks, we took back control from our investors and focused on learning from our mistakes to develop a better product.

We realized that we weren't alone in our struggles; other startups faced similar challenges, and persistence was key to success.

I felt crushed after failing to secure funding, but I decided to use our remaining resources to continue pushing forward and meet with customers to understand their needs better.

When things aren't going well, many founders try to work harder to solve their problems, but I knew we needed to take a break and hope for an 'aha' moment.

Even when we couldn't draw a salary for months, we were committed to our startup and would have kept going regardless.
