Evan King, a former Meta software engineer, embarked on a startup journey after a product he created gained traction. He faced unforeseen difficulties in startup life, particularly the heightened responsibilities and stress compared to his previous job. Although they found initial success and recognition in the Web3 space, the financial payoff was lacking, leading to the sale of their first startup in February 2023. This experience taught King valuable lessons about pivoting quickly and managing responsibilities, shaping his approach to future business endeavors.
Startup life was much harder than I expected it to be. The stress of responsibility was so much higher than at Meta, and every problem ultimately landed on my shoulders.
After we sold our first product in February 2023, we tossed around dozens of other ideas before finding new success. It was a deeply humbling experience.
