> What motivated you…

Because I know there is a lot of pressure to go to school and school isn’t for everyone. Wanted to be an example for anyone who needs to hear it.

> did you dropout to start something 

I dropped out to start something that failed. Failed many more times after that until i finally figured it out haha

> where did you go 

UIUC (physics and math)

> by what measure?

Having PMF :) (@ted do i have pmf?)

What motivated you today to solicit questions from strangers on the internet?

Did you drop out to start something, or did you drop out then later start something?

Why did you go to college in the first place?

By what measure are you successful as a founder?

Welcome to the Student Cabal

Don’t know if I’ve ever asked…

How did your parents accept your decision?

and how long did the new reality take to settle in?

I finished school, yet deciding to farm way back made my dad scratch his head for at least a decade.
