Bouncing Back from Losing $20m

Comments (4)

Alex Muse has a long, detailed post up about How [He] lost $20,000,000+ in 18 months.  It’s the story of his experience with LayerOne – the first version and the second version.  It’s a useful story on failure that harkens back to 2001 with a nice redemption twist at the end.

    Great post. Funny timing. We had BarCampRDU on Saturday and I did a session called “10 Good Things to Know About Accelerating Failure in a Startup”. If only I was as good at sticking to the rules as I am talking about them…
