Kyle Lappin shares his story of resilience in the face of startup challenges on BoneChat #45 short
In this brief interview, Kyle Lappin recounts his experience joining a startup that required him to relocate his family, sell their house, and live in a hotel. He discovered that the target market was roughly 40 times smaller than anticipated, leading to a cash crunch and the need for a bridge loan. As the situation deteriorated, the team pivoted to a new market, rebuilt the organization, and ultimately secured a better outcome for his family. Lappin reflects on the ordeal as a "darkest before dawn" moment and emphasizes the importance of asking sharper, upfront questions to avoid similar future pitfalls.
