I finished writing chapter 1 - would you like to read?

Last time I posted and asked if people would be interested in my crazy, bizarre startup story where I was hired as a startup CEO, worked really hard to find product/market fit for 18 months, and burned one million of funding.

After getting the initial, critical feedback, I debated with myself and decided to just do it - writing out the story to share all the hard lessons I learned in the last 18 months with other first-time founders.

I looked at this as my own reflection more than trying to write a bestseller book. But of course, it is a lot of work to write so I do want to see if there is value in what I do (that's why I opt for a "donate" model).

This eBook is called "How to Fail as a First-Time Founder" because I made so many mistakes a first-time founder could make.

I outlined a total of 14 chapters, and so far chapter 1 is ready, and I will continue to work on it. I'm not a professional writer, but I'm trying my best to make it good. And you can see I adopted the style from Trends.vc to include key lessons, haters, and links section in each chapter.

If you have any feedback for me, I'd love to hear and learn. Thanks all.
