I believe the title "Failure Sucks" doesn’t do justice to the experience. There was a product built, an amazing team formed, funds raised, an acquisition achieved, and immense personal growth at every step. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.”

Merci Matthieu pour ton retour positif.

The title was, on purpose, provocative. I agree with you. We were able to find a way out and give a (good) future to the team. And many startups are not that fortunate. One goal of this blog/book was to make sure that those who plan to start a similar journey don't make the mistakes I have done because when you are in this journey, those mistakes suck.
