October 2018

  1. Bootcamp grads are horrible. Anecdotal experience, but turns out you cant sit through a couple months of classes and know anything about development. Gave them a year leash of heavy hand-holding/training and nothing. Feel like I'm a sucker! — Startups Anonymous

September 2018

  1. Dear founders dreaming of VC funding you are misguided. You want freedom and impact. VC funding will enslave and cripple you. Do not fall prey to them. No, not even the ones you call 'top tier'. They are not aligned with you, by default. — Startups Anonymous

March 2018

  1. Closing startup with hate from customers after 2 years of promises we couldn't keep simply because we didn't give a shit about the product. Feeling like a liar after trying to convince everyone this was my dream when deep down I knew I hated it. — Startups Anonymous
  2. My business partner is jealous of the relationship that I've developed with our team and she does everything to make everyone uncomfortable at the office because of it. — Startups Anonymous
  3. Despite all the advantages I have, I've only jumped from failure to failure … With nothing to show for it — Startups Anonymous
  4. Me every night: why are customers so stupid? First they don't understand what I'm offering them for months. Finally, they buy anyway. But then they pay 4 weeks after deadline? Work would be really nice if the customers weren't there. #b2bInGermany — Startups Anonymous
  5. I can’t work with my investor, but I need him because he pushes me beyond my limits. Getting sick of it though. — Startups Anonymous

February 2018

  1. I can’t take it anymore. I don’t know who to trust anymore and who is a decent person. I want to dissolve my startup now. I feel like a total adult failure. I must come across as a real quiter and loser. I’m so depressed. Crying myself to sleep. — Startups Anonymous

December 2017

  1. My company is funded. Solo Entrepreneur. Have to raise $3M-$5M to go into production. Multiple leads into due diligence, no closings. Morale is low. Trudging. Drinking too much. They say keep at it with their support – all just words. — Startups Anonymous

November 2017

  1. Even though my startup is about to pass the £1m ARR mark, it's taken 5 years to get there, the niche we operate in isn't giving the growth we need to get excited, and I dunno whether to continue, sell, give up, or pivot. — Startups Anonymous
  2. I was depressed, and even now that I'm feeling much much better I’m afraid to apply to new jobs because of the gap on my resume. The real irony is that I'm a leader in the mental health tech space. — Startups Anonymous
  3. I was coding for a startup whose CEO cannot make decisions, the CTO doesn't know the difference between front-end and back-end and the VP of Sales sells not-existing products. I resigned today. I wonder how such clowns can raise money. — Startups Anonymous

October 2017

  1. I am Fed-up with "build my app for exposure/free". Why the H**K would I work for you for free when I cna work for Ubuntu/Firefox/Android/Chrome for free(great exposure and no equity) Bl***dy startups, every T**t thinks I'll now work for nought. — Startups Anonymous

August 2017

  1. I am a CTO Co-Founder of a failed startup of 4years. What job can i get now? I can code but don’t want job as purely a coder. I can do sales but don’t want a pure sales job. What the hell do I do? — Startups Anonymous

March 2017

  1. I finally gave up on my startup after three years. It was the only thing I've ever wanted to do and I don't even have that anymore… I just don't want to feel so worthless for the rest of my life — Startups Anonymous

February 2017

  1. I feel unable to set boundaries with my cofounder. The startup I'm in started as a fun side project and I didn't expect it to grow so quickly. All the talk of commitment has me terrified but I don't want to let him down. — Startups Anonymous
  2. A company I built went from making 1-2 million a year for eight years to 30k this year. I'm letting the company fold. I'm afraid to become an employee for someone else and let the founders profit off my ideas while I get a pat on the back. Sadness. — Startups Anonymous
  3. Brought some cofounders in right away to an idea. They were sold on it! Great, let’s get to work, two of them were working full time. They were slacking, I got very bossy so I kicked them off the team. We’re still in idea mode. — Startups Anonymous

January 2017

  1. I feel defeated. I'm sick of chasing clients for payment, worrying about business, & always being a few months from total collapse. YET, I can't imagine going to work for someone else again. Am I just weak or do others feel like this sometimes? — Startups Anonymous

December 2016

  1. I am so depressed I can't get out of bed. My startup is out of money and I can't keep hustling. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay rent, but I am so depressed that it is hard to get a job. Antidepressants don't help. — Startups Anonymous

October 2016

  1. I can’t work alone … I’m crippled at even the thought of working alone. Sometimes I think my main motivation for working is that I can show others how good I am. I can work endlessly when i’m working with someone. — Startups Anonymous
  2. I finally no longer want to kill myself. Running and doing a startup is hard, so dont take everything too personally. If you have depression issues, get help right away like I did. You are worth more than your startup. — Startups Anonymous

September 2016

  1. Dumb VC : Your tech is pure sci-fi, your market is 85B$++, you have strong traction and your team is made of rockstars, we acknowledge all that. But the excel projection you made up is not cool enough. We won’t invest. Me : FUUUUUUUUUUUUU — Startups Anonymous
  2. My co-founder just got a job and didn’t tell a couple of people who are working effectively for free right now. I didn’t even knowIs that right or is that wrong? — Startups Anonymous

April 2016

  1. I didn’t start a business to become a civil rights advocate, but this shit really is out of each and investors are idiots. I’m shutting down. I can’t change my sex or my color. I am not ok watching people with sub par plans get funded for being white. — Startups Anonymous

March 2016

  1. Does anyone feel like they’re just staring at a screen pushing buttons all day working on another app people could easily live without? It’s hot outside and a dude is mowing the lawn, he’s sweating like a pig but looks a fuckload happier than I do. — Startups Anonymous

February 2016

  1. My family tells me to “get a job” because they think physical labor = work, I act like I’m taking it as a joke but I know they really think that way and it hurts everytime. — Startups Anonymous

January 2016

  1. Bootstrapping your startup sucks. I tripled revenues in 2015, but this week I have to pay off 15 thousand in taxes and debt. My startup apps are about to launch soon, but I wonder if it is worth it. I’ve aged like 10 years in the last 3. — Startups Anonymous
  2. “Everybody is a genius. But if ask a fish to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” — Unless that fish is an entrepreneur. Then it just climbs the damn tree. — Startups Anonymous

December 2015

  1. Every day is a struggle. Things are going pretty good for us and yet every day I experience unbearable amounts of stress and wonder why I’m even doing this. I care a lot about what we do, I just think the personal price is getting out of hand for me. — Startups Anonymous
  2. Despite advice from all over, I don’t believe in ‘legal protection’ between partners. Contracts only get useful after shit has already hit the fan, and so are a waste of time.At the same time, I’m terrified of the idea that shit will hit the fan… — Startups Anonymous
  3. “Exploratory research is really like working in a fog. You don’t know where you’re going. You’re just groping. Then people learn about it afterwards and think how straightforward it was.” – Francis Crick — Startups Anonymous

November 2015

  1. I was always told to keep our funding options open, but it feels like we have swindled potentially a few people as they are all options that we keep on hold. Fundraising almost feels like being a con. — Startups Anonymous
  2. At a band audition being asked to whiteboard the physics formulas for my instrument’s harmonic series without playing a single note … oh, wait, no … at an interview being asked to code yet another sort algorithm. Hiring’s become completely tone-deaf. — Startups Anonymous

October 2015

  1. As a guy who has been in three start ups, I can confidently tell you that the more I work in these kinds of companies, the more I realize that most are clearly just not going to succeed. — Startups Anonymous
  2. Beginning to think my startup is worthless/irrelavent/useless. In the beginning I was really hyped and saw the vision for this company. Now I’m still in development, but I’m starting to doubt myself and thinking maybe I should quit. — Startups Anonymous

August 2015

  1. Being CEO and Founder is a lot more stressful than being technical co-founder. — Startups Anonymous

July 2015

  1. 18 year old Cofounder of a startup, I’ve been trying to raise a pre-seed round and the amount of people ignoring us and not giving us decisive answers has literally thrown me into a pit of depression. — Startups Anonymous
  2. Doesn’t matter if I fail or succeed… I can’t wait to write a book about some of the shit I’ve seen…. — Startups Anonymous

June 2015

  1. As a startup CEO, I find you hire slow and fire fast, but boy does it pain me to fire people! Why do people bother to come work if they are going to treat it like an after school club? — Startups Anonymous

April 2015

  1. Challenge every single alleged token of wisdom that you hear from these entrepreneurial sages. They may be honest, but they’re honestly inaccurate– the advice they offer has no empirical foundation — Startups Anonymous

March 2015

  1. A thousand ideas and have past success at developing them to businesses. But I seem to self sabotage them somehow. I get anxious and look for the safety net. I see the corporate world limiting my energy. A bad corporate citizen. Break free, how? — Startups Anonymous
  2. I was busting my ass for 6 months – being told that the CEO was going to get the seed round done.I just got told today that it isn’t going to happen – out of the blue with no warning whatsoever.Now I’m out in the cold. Sucks being mushroomed… — Startups Anonymous
  3. I can’t stop tossing my developers into the tree mulcher after 9 months of slave labor. It’s too easy just to replace them using my battle tested “rockstar full stack developer wanted 150k++” job posting. — Startups Anonymous
  4. Bathroom in coworking spaces suck!!! Unfortunately in SF, the M/F ratio is completely off balance and nothing to accommodate the gender imbalance in the bathrooms. — Startups Anonymous
  5. All I can think about is my new business. It’s killing everything else. — Startups Anonymous

November 2014

  1. Everyone is having problems earning too much money, exiting, having attracted the wrong crowd, clashing with co-founders. Meanwhile, I can code an app solo in two weeks, get it live, contact the niche, but don’t get any attention. I fail at failing. — Startups Anonymous

October 2014

  1. I don’t hire/fire conservatives. I simply can’t trust the critical thinking and flexibility of someone who denies the science behind evolution or global warming. Their ideology infects every aspect of their work bc they fit data to their beliefs — Startups Anonymous
  2. Even while trying to minimize premature optimization I find myself climbing a mountain that seems to grow above me with every step I take. I can’t even call this scope creep because I couldn’t scope something without understanding its depth first. — Startups Anonymous
  3. My cofounder is a girl … and so many of the stereotypes hold true. — Startups Anonymous

September 2014

  1. Although I knew about the importance of shipping early and often, I let my co founder drag his feet so long I ran out of money. Now I have to go get a job. Listen to those who say it: ship now, ship often, don’t wait, validate early. — Startups Anonymous
  2. I have no faith in the equity crowdfunding provisions of the JOBS Act accomplishing any goal other than that which is the opposite of what the Act was even initiated for. Entrepreneurs are being F’d in the A by the govt. — Startups Anonymous
  3. We’re about to fire our head of marketing. Our CEO just received an email from them, 2 typed pages long, ranting about the company and their problems with it. It was the most any of us had seen them work. — Startups Anonymous
  4. I cry almost every night. Being an entrepreneur with bi-polar is really fucking hard. — Startups Anonymous

August 2014

  1. I am filing an unpaid wages claim despite knowing it will lead nowhere except getting the matter on the record. — Startups Anonymous
  2. 2 years ago I began a relationship with a women with 3 kids. I fell in love with all of them. My business isn’t making money. As much as I love them, I know they would be better off with a more stable man of the house. I think it’s best for them if I go. — Startups Anonymous
  3. Creating a product for a company with 4 direct decision makers. Having so many folks in your ear is a nightmare, NEVER AGAIN. Now it is mandatory I interface with 1 decision maker on any project. And we take 25% down in case they change their minds. — Startups Anonymous
  4. How do these exec douchebags get press coverage for leaving their post from one company to the other? I’m not even talking about big companies like google, execs at like 12 person startups. — Startups Anonymous
  5. My company was acquired a few years ago so I’m fully vested. I’m only still here because I’m remote and I only have to work a few hours a week for a generous salary. At the same time I feel guilty for taking advantage of this and being complacent. — Startups Anonymous
  6. At this point, I’m about ready to wave the white flag and hope for an acquihire. We have great tech and a great team, but we can’t seem to find product/market fit. Tired of bashing my head against the wall. — Startups Anonymous
  7. After four years of being an entrepreneur, I now have to find a job. Shoot me now. — Startups Anonymous

July 2014

  1. I fear that my startup has sacrificed a lot of the interesting applications of our technology for the sake of revenue. Even though the business is growing quickly. I also have a meta-fear that this fear is naive. — Startups Anonymous
  2. The CEO of my startup (Amicus) embezzled funds and has crafted quite the tale to make it seem like he just messed up our taxes. — Startups Anonymous
  3. Why is it that those with “big” and also “middle-size” names are saying they’re so damn open and easy to contact, and when you look for an Email or try to connect somewhere, they never respond, nor even accept an invite? Just bla bla bla as always. — Startups Anonymous
  4. I feel guilty about having a relatively easy time raising money. I seeded my own company with a fund that I share with my parents. Now, I’m close to finalizing my first series A. I know this is hard, and I feel guilty it was easy for me and not others. — Startups Anonymous

June 2014

  15. I launched a consumer app. There are other apps that my target users are using. Some say get funding so I can buy ads to grow the users base fast. Others say take the time to get traction, then ask for money. What’s the better approach? — Startups Anonymous
  16. When is the right time to seek out funding? — Startups Anonymous

  19. Are there rumblings of a bubble bursting? — Startups Anonymous
  20. Another day almost gone, another day having not completed the one major task on my list. Why can’t I motivate myself to get this done? I love accomplishment, but sometimes hate the work that goes into it. — Startups Anonymous

  4. When I first started I did not think the people mattered that much. Turned out my partner was a jealous egotistical intregitless lying self server. Despite all the ways he screwed me, it was my mistake for deciding to go into business with him. — Startups Anonymous
  5. My 1st startup failed. I started another one, launched it, got to the top page of hackernews & it crashed. New version is ready but I am too scared of failure to pull the trigger and launch again. — Startups Anonymous
  6. I binge code; sometimes few days go by where I write no code. Then I turn it up and work 12 or so hours and spit features out. My startup is more than happy with my productivity as CTO. I imagine what would be possible if I could code 40 hours a week — Startups Anonymous
  7. Competitor went ~200 million IPO. We are growing at a faster rate than this competitor! Our costs are less than this competitor! — Startups Anonymous
  8. This bullshit on “hiring the best coder” makes me sick sometimes. You don’t need anything beyond determination and commitment to get the job done. I’m doing it and I’ve seen smart people pivot with zero domain knowledge and execute superbly — Startups Anonymous
  9. Our core value we created for the past 2 years is slowly being eaten away by competitors and large companies that are difficult to work with. Here’s hoping the next pivot works, or we stick a fork in it. — Startups Anonymous
