It was still hard for us to raise funds back in the days because people didn't get the idea. We grew from 6 million of ARR to 18 the year after, and then from 18 to 50, and 50 to 120 in three years. What I found about founders is that you try to avoid the hardest things in your business. If something is very painful, that's the right time to get into it and fix it.

Wow, you've really done your research, huh? Yeah, I told you. Yeah, I actually love video games. I actually play to this day. So it's been an old habit of mine as a kid. When I was young, I used to play a lot of strategy games. One of my favorites ever was, I don't know if you remember, but it was called Command & Conquer Red Alert 2. It's a strategy game.

I think if you play the right games, you can learn a lot from them, especially strategy games. On one hand, you need to see the big picture all the time. You need to understand the strategy, you need to understand what's going on, but also handle the tactics, know all the details, act quickly. Kind of similar in business, I guess.

Yeah, there's something that really goes with me in my journey because prior to Monday, my first startup, I was in the middle of uni. I built some sort of a search engine, tried to compete in a category, which is extremely competitive. I think the more interesting part of it, it was a complete disaster. Like I built the product, I worked in it for about 14 or 15 months before launching it.

After 14 or 15 months, I didn't raise any money. I just felt I wasn't ready. And eventually it was a big failure. I ran out of money, personal money, and ran out of energy. I remember thinking to myself after I closed that company, I wasted all my resources, you know, personal, financial. I'm at point zero. I must have learned something. I didn't spend all that time without learning anything.

After a lot of processing, I realized that I've learned that the reason I failed in that company is that I was afraid to fail. It might sound weird, but I was so afraid of negative feedback from customers. I was afraid people are going to write about me on TechCrunch or on a blog post. I thought people are going to be critical of my product. I don't know. I was just afraid.

And I swore to myself that when I build my next company, I'm going to fail. I'm going to fail often. I'm going to be happy about failures because I want to learn as quickly as I can. and improve and get actual feedback from users.
