I think I learned a lot about how the market works, about timing, about how to pick partners and about managing expectations. It was an invaluable experience in terms of realizing that you shouldn't internalize all of the hype that gets spewed about how to make a startup work and that everyone's journey is based on a lot of variables that may or may not cause you need to do a lot of reflection before, during and after.

Thanks for reply. So it sounds like in your experience there is a lot of chance, or randomness, at play, but what you can control is your expectations (don't buy hype). Is that right? What were your take-aways about timing and picking partners? Curious how you do things differently now.
