A founder named Matt quit his job, started a company on a credit card, and lived with roommates while obsessing over iced coffee. The first 4-5 months before angel funding hit hard.
I think the hardest moment was going out, quitting my job, and starting the company with a credit card. I actually had 4 roommates at the time. I'm just like spending all the time in the kitchen. My roommates were like, "What the hell is wrong with Matt? Do we need to have like an intervention with him and his parents? He graduated top of the class. He's just making iced coffee all day, obsessed with his iced coffee." It was tough those first 4 or 5 months before we had received angel funding. You know, just getting over that hump was a challenge.
