From people who came through it

  • โ€œA note for the next person. A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. Start up that ran out of runway. That was my life. I'm volunteering here now.โ€

    Anjali S. ยท been through business struggles and failure
  • โ€œDear stranger, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. A bad review that went viral, and I couldn't see past it. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ€

    Didier Er ยท been through business struggles and failure
  • โ€œI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't and but you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. Honestly, getting out for ten minutes a day helped more than I thought it would.โ€

  • โ€œIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place eighteen months ago. The business loan is personal now. That was my life. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart.โ€
