15 Painful Lessons You’ll Learn Working at a Startup

on July 18, 2013

Working at a startup is a series of one painful lesson after another. At the SF New Tech event in San Francisco I asked the attendees, all of whom work at a startup, what’s the most painful lesson they’ve learned. They had plenty, but each narrowed it down to just one.

Special thanks to all these people who participated in the event:
