I just got my round of funding and I am more terrified now that I have ever been. The expectations and risk of failure scares the shit out of me, but at the same time I can’t wait to see what happens.

Congratulations. Most of us are trying to get where you’re at, so you’re already ahead of a lot of us. I understand your concerns though, as now you’re playing with someone else’s money, which means that there’s more pressure on you to perform well.

Good luck!

Congrats and best of luck! I hope to be in the same place in a few months. Bring it on!

Holy cow! keep going and good for you!

Congrats and don’t panic! Keep calm.. Deep breath in and out.. With a clear mind, make a realistic action plan, delegate stuff that you can.. course correct when you have you, with a beautiful vision at the horizon.

You might want to start meditating it has helped me to reign in my stress over founding and present myself in a better manner to people.

My advice: ale and whores.

@ ale advice: What if OP is a female?

Sounds like a good recipe for success — fear, eagerness, money, and ambition!

However, remember that a dollar spent is a dollar that must be earned — so don’t let your excitement trap you into overspending.

And two, stay the course unless proven otherwise. Funding does not mean that you now have to go into 5 new directions. Stay excited, but concentrate.

hahah, made my office hell morning
