Please: If you ever find yourself despairing, reach out to your friends, co-founders, parents, investors, someone. They are much more likely to understand than you may think.
I am very sorry, both for your loss and for the fact that I never had a chance to know Dan.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Was there a note or some type of reason? Dan seemed perfectly normal in his conversation.
No. Nobody suspected anything including me, family, friends, and his girlfriend
My thoughts and condolences go out to you and the people affected by this tragedy.

Unfortunately, the way I found him pretty much rules that out. I'm foregoing description to be kind to family and friends, but it wasn't something you accidently do. A couple minor things he did directly beforehand which would seem completely innocuous to everybody but me also gives me confidence in the conclusion.
the way I found him I didn't realize until seeing this that you were the person who found him. Please don't be afraid to seek counselling if you have flashbacks / nightmares / difficulty sleeping / etc -- post-traumatic stress disorder is very commonly experienced by those who find suicide victims.
A tragic loss. Dan was smart, dedicated, funny, and always a pleasure to talk to. Please: If you ever find yourself despairing, reach out to your friends, co-founders, parents, investors, someone. They are much more likely to understand than you may think.
