Why This Founder Sold Their Startup: The Pressure to Profit

Well, let's move into that. What made you want to sell copycopter? So, good question. As I mentioned, when I left my VC backed company, they left me with like a very small pile of money. And I just decided to, like, bet everything on me building my own product within the next 12, 18 months. So I went to Bali and started building Copycopter. But I think my biggest mistake was not focusing on marketing. So instead of actually selling what I when I was building, I was constantly building more and more. And then after a few months, I realized I'm basically out of money. So I was close to being broke, and I decided to sell the whole thing because I couldn't afford to even, like, I don't know, invest the money into ads. So I had to get rid of all that pressure of having the product that is not making money.
