Are builders so busy building businesses that starting a family isn’t a priority?

Most of my classmates from elementary school, high school, and university have been married for a long time and have had kids for at least 4  5 years.

But none of them started a business. They got jobs, their shift ends at 5 on Friday, and then they go enjoy their free time.

I took my first salary as a founder πŸ₯Ή

On Friday I took my first salary as a founder.
Paid by revenue. Not investment.
My first one ever. So proud.
Most startups die before they make $1.
We ve been making revenue for 8 months.
Even after pivoting from @Dolphin AI.
I don t take this lightly.
But it isn t about money. It s about the milestone.
The fact that something didn t exist and now it does.
Something people want.
Are happy to pay for.
And happy to be part of.
@Pretty Prompt keeps surprising me week after week.

And it all started here on PH .
If I could talk to my 2023 self, I d say: "Just keep pushing".
Doesn t matter if you don t come from a CS degree, or didn t go to an Ivy League.

What matters is your ability to adapt, and move fast.
This is proof. And I m super proud.
I took my wife out for dinner.
If I was motivated before
Wait for what we ll do next with Charlie, my co-founder!
Here s to the next Pretty milestone.
And building things people want.

Did you choose to bootstrap or go the funding route and why?

Today's Product Hunt lineup genuinely surprised me in the best way.

TL;DR: As @aaronoleary said  one or more companies launching today will get a YC interview and potentially funding.
