throwback to my failed venture backed startup in 2021 as a first time founder
→ raised $4.5m to build crypto gaming guild + software
→ we invested heavily into in-game assets (nfts)
→ market tanked, we pivoted to community software
→ struggled to gain enough traction
→ then returned remaining funds to investors
lootsquad failing is still the most humbling experience of my career
i used to think i was a loser and no fund would ever back me again, now i wear that failure as a badge, it taught me a ton, it's a part of my journey
learn, get better, grow, there's always another swing of the bat. next time, ill be more than ready.
