My first startup raised $8M and shut down in 14 months. Here's what I learned: 1. PMF is a feeling, not a metric. 2. Your investors want you to win, but the market wants you to die. 3. Hire slow, fire faster than you think. 4. The best founders are stubborn about vision and flexible about everything else. 5. The day you start blaming the market is the day you've already lost.
