It's interesting seeing how difficult the author finds it being an unfunded entrepreneur. Offers some perspective on how difficult it is for entrepreneurs starting off with nothing. At the very least the author probably has a decent amount of runway from working a well paid job previously. Not to mention the connections to the VC world. I'm not trying to take away from the authors struggles but trying to point out if it's that tough for them just imagine how tough it is for the rest of us.
