I'm launching a startup to profitably solve traffic. I'm going to pitch investors, validate my customers, build an app, and more.

(Wait, did he say "solve traffic?" More on that soon)

And I'm going to share my founder journey along the way.

This is the first in a series of short videos.

I'm excited to share my adventures with you—because launching a #startup is HARD! Raising money is HARD! And things change along the way.

The last time I raised money for my own startup (presentation software in the cloud), we pitched 40 investors over eight months. The first 37 of them said "No."

Then we received term sheets from the last three investors. Not because we suddenly became lucky—but rather because we eventually became investable.

We evolved along the way: in our thinking, in our approach to the business, in our priorities. We also had to stay optimistic, even when things weren't always looking good.

I want to capture that evolution, and share it with you.

Here's episode #1 of my #founderjourney
