It&#x27;s been a crazy year.<p>- even smart people will react very differently to same events, mostly because of their context&#x2F;interest&#x2F;values.. but most of all, emotions.<p>- until the money is in the bank. many people will bs you, but you never really know everything until someone actually takes action or commits.<p>- scalability of an organization depends on its people. the leadership, the hubs(influentials), and the values&#x2F;culture. the structure comes after.<p>- never give up. we got accepted to YC on our 2nd try.
