Left my dream job in Animation and started two companies (one failed and one was acquired)

I have been lurking at the amazing IH community for 3 years now and I've never posted anything before. I've also hesitated to share my story for more than a year, but I recently shared it on Twitter and Linkedin and people were extremely positive and supportive, so I decided to share it here as well.

In short, I had an amazing well-paid job at one of the biggest animation studios in the world (makers of Ice Age and Rio franchises), but I felt miserable and left.

I co-founded a venture-funded VR startup that failed and bootstrapped a SAAS company that got acquired. Here is the story, which talks about failures and successes.
