This startup story has us right in the middle of another one. The rise and fall of that story is the previous podcast episode and I strongly recommend listening to that one. The “too long didn’t watch” summary is: I quit my job at a fortune 100 company to make my weekend travel webapp my full time job. The purpose of it was to make travel planning easier and thought my proposed solution beat the dominant player in the market. Everything didn’t go to plan and I struggled to gain traction. To salvage the project I went on reddit’s r/ co-founder to find co-founders. Ultimately I didn’t find co-founders for my startup but found myself joining someone else’s travel startup. That decision started a year long journey with multiple interesting characters and moments. Strap in because this is going to be a bit all over the place!
