A start-up is a grand experiment, a gamble of a different kind, with our time on earth and other people's money, in markets that have yet to be formed, with products that do not exist. We do this without fully understanding ourselves, and what is for us or what is against us. And more often, we end up on a dead-end street, frustrated and crushed. Suicide is a taboo, a pariah of a subject, but a reality. On the surface of it all, we treat this subject with heavy doses of platitudes, quotable quotes, quick-fix solutions, or conclusive statistics. To confess any remote suicidal thoughts causes immense discomfort, more often to the listener. When we do not listen to the pain, the force that could have changed the world gets forced out of this world. We are humans first, and then we label ourselves as founders, employees, and everything else.
