So Airbnb founders for their grit and determination -- maxing out all their credit cards and even started selling political branded cereal boxes to keep the lights on.

Dollar Shave Club on their growth strategies -- how they posted a product video which went viral and got started their business.

I know, these are the success ones but would also love to hear from founders whose apps/startups did not work out.

Again, it is great to see someone from HN getting this involved in getting suggestions and feedback. Thanks.

Looking forward to the podcast.
