"We knew with absolute certainty that we could rely on each other."

There were at least 3 times I was absolutely prepared to quit, but changed my mind after attending Starve Ups meetings. Every gathering was cathartic, educational, and most importantly, it was filled with tenacity and encouragement.

Even though the other company founders had no stake in mine, they all supported me as if they did. The initial Starve Ups members were a family.

We knew with absolute certainty that we could rely on each other. To walk away would have meant walking away from family, not just my venture. I couldn't do that.
