The founder's story is not uncommon of most actual successful startups I personally have observed.
To those who have cush jobs, dream of startups - this is the real world life. In startups, it is not all funding and glory moments; it is your world imploding on you in numerous directions, and you have to pull yourself through sheer will; or fail.
That sounds awful. Is she OK now?
Thank you for sharing that story! I think the first word I would use to describe, before inspiring, is "terrifying" :), but happy to hear it all worked out.
I was a little surprised to read this because I worked in the low code Web IDE space in 2013 as well, and don't remember webflow back then, but then when I go back through my old emails I see we exchanged ideas and motivation! Very cool. So so happy you all ended up making this a reality. We ended up taking an early exit, which was great too, but I felt guilty we didn't solve the problem we set out to solve. Thank you for doing that!
