What’s the one thing that kept you going when your startup almost broke you?

We often discuss success here, including launches, traction, and growth hacks.

But let’s talk about something else for a moment.

That one moment when it felt like it was over.

No funding. No traction. Silence from users. The team is falling apart.

You doubted everything.

What kept you going?

For me, it wasn’t motivation or a podcast quote.

It was a single, silent look from my dad, the kind that says “I see you” without words.

I remembered that.

And I kept building.

I’m writing a book about the mess behind the mission, not just what worked, but what broke me.

But I’d love to hear your moment.

What got you through the lowest point? Drop yours. I’ll read every one.
