Our first employee recognized that we persevered through tough times because we were passionate about our mission, which is essential for success.

The secret to our success lies in our sustained focus on improving the product and continuously evolving it, rather than just the initial launch.

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.

We got through tough times by taking a long-term view on our mission and ensuring it improves users' lives in a meaningful way.

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

It's imperative to believe that your product is helping people; perseverance through hardship has made me a better human and founder.

After launching our first product, we received positive feedback from investors, but I was unaware that we were about to face a long period of struggle.

Even after two failed versions of Gobble, I believed in our mission to provide busy people with home-cooked meals, which kept me motivated to find a solution.

When we first launched our product, I was embarrassed about its readiness, but we had to ship it. We learned from our initial customers, who provided valuable feedback that helped us improve.
