One of the things I’ve often read about doing a startup is that there are amazing highs and disappointing lows. We’ve definitely had our share of both, and when things get tough I think about why I’m doing this.

What gets me out of bed in the morning (or afternoon if we’ve been up late working) is that we’re working on hard, interesting problems that have the potential to change the world in some way and that I get to work with one of the smartest people I know. It also helps that I have the support of my amazing family, awesome friends, and how we’ve become part of the great tech community here in Boulder (which means more friends and smart people!).

We’ve got some exciting things on the way here at Occipital, so bring on the lows - they’ll make the highs we reach even sweeter.
