What motivated you the last go around? Was it $$$ or the idea?

Neither. It was originally developed as a solution to solve my own problem. The intention was never to create a startup out of it. It wasn't until a few months later that someone pointed out that I should run with it as a startup. The rest is as they say, history...

Ok, but what kept you going? Was it the thrill of getting customers or the thrill of solving that particular problem or...?

I'd love to work with someone who has done it before so if I can motivate you, that would be awesome :D

There were multiple reasons but ultimately it was an interesting problem we were solving among various other factors. Your email is not in your profile but if you want to connect, I'm pretty open.
