- In 2008, I survived the financial market crash. - In 2019, the startup that acquired us collapsed, wiping out 50% of our earn-out. We kept the team afloat on our personal payroll. A team of 40+- at the time for 6 months. - In 2021, crypto crashed and a $40M investment defaulted overnight. - In 2022, we faced multiple defaults totaling over $3M. - In 2025, we’re still standing. Not a single layoff. Persistence is everything.
