Let's Hear It. The truth about how hard you've worked to get your startup going

19 pointsby ziyadbabout 11 years ago
I want to hear your story on how you built your startup.<p>I&#x27;m working on a startup myself, and would like to learn &amp; share lessons from various entrepreneurs on their venture experiences. I&#x27;m trying to get my startup off the ground, plus a full time job, so it&#x27;s a difficult journey ahead.<p>I figured I&#x27;d take all the stories and put them up somewhere, so I created http:&#x2F;&#x2F;buildingof.com , which focuses on sharing an inside look at the toil and hard work that goes into creating a startup. At this point, I&#x27;m interested in talking with founders that have interesting stories to share and help everyone learn a thing or two along the way.

I wrote this up long ago, you can&#x27;t really tell how hard we all worked by looking at the end result but it was blood, sweat and tears at times. It also was tons of fun and I wouldn&#x27;t have missed it for the world, 3 of the people working with us have since moved to extreme success (8 figure exits)!<p><a href="http://jacquesmattheij.com/content/story-behind-wwcom-camaradescom" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jacquesmattheij.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;story-behind-wwcom-camara...</a>

Is this a for-fun-and-interest project or do you expect to make money off of it?<p>Because while I&#x27;d enjoy taking a gander over the site, I don&#x27;t want to give you my email address, and if the site is just a free thing I&#x27;d kind of expect to be able to read it without giving it to you.

When you sign up the business address they give is in Saudi Arabia. Which to be clear is totally fine by me, but I&#x27;m just wondering if there&#x27;s something special about basing corporations out of S.A. that I don&#x27;t know about, or is that just where they happen to be?
