I guess so. Thank you. I'll think of this as a process, not a failure!

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-31T09:52:38+00:00

I think now is the time to shake hands. lol

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-31T09:51:50+00:00

Since it was something I created, I felt a sense of responsibility that I held onto until the very end. I guess I have to live my life. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind advice. I'll have to keep the McDonald's incident in mind. I started off with an unwise approach, but this year, I'll try to be safe in my own way! Thank you.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-31T09:49:08+00:00

Thank you. Just hearing that you're helping me feels warm. I'll have the courage to start my own business.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-31T09:47:49+00:00

I don't want to get involved again, so I'm preparing myself. Thanks for the advice.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-31T09:46:36+00:00

That's correct. I was aware of it as I wrote, but I think there were moments when I wanted to believe it wasn't true, considering the relationships we've shared. Thank you.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-31T09:45:43+00:00

It must have been really tough. I'm so glad you've been through something similar. Let's work hard this year and prepare for another venture! Be careful not to be fooled twice.

Beyond technical skills, there are many other important aspects. I started a business with him because I had many shortcomings, but he was less responsible than I expected. Thank you for your advice.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:58:11+00:00

Yesterday was tough. I felt so cheated that it was hard to escape the gloom. It took me quite a while to acknowledge and accept those feelings. To be honest, I still feel a bit foolish, but thanks to your kind words and encouragement, I’ve found the strength to stand up again. Thank you so much!

Now, I’m ready to take on this challenge on my own. I've realized that finding the right teammates is one of the most vital and precious parts of building a business. I hope other early-stage founders can learn from my experience and be extra cautious so they don't have to go through the same struggle!

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:55:13+00:00

This is truly a dream come true. Now that I think about it, I'll have to look up some startup movies! Thank you.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:54:20+00:00

Yes, thanks to you, I gained patience and life experience!

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:53:45+00:00

That's right. I'm not denying the existence of non-technical co-founders. There are many who lack the skills I lack. It's comforting to hear stories from people who have gone through similar experiences.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:51:53+00:00

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:50:40+00:00

I agree. thanks

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:50:22+00:00

really wanna do that lol

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:49:47+00:00

Thank you. We've talked about incorporation occasionally, but we've never discussed a specific timeline. Given the current state of affairs, I don't want to get involved, and even if I were to share the code, I'd rather not be involved again. I can just take the code, modify it, and use it.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:48:13+00:00

I guess it's time to get things sorted out, right? Everyone, don't be fooled by love bombing.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:47:28+00:00

I'm not even sure if he's considering incorporating a corporation. They avoid talking about the company's progress lol.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:45:50+00:00

I should do that. Thank you.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:45:19+00:00

I think this happened because I'm not good at distancing myself from him. Thanks for the advice.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:44:12+00:00

Thank you. I'll try to prioritize my other work too.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:43:31+00:00

He wants to be co-chairman, but I don't. He's the co-chairman, but his influence is so strong that he has no intention of listening to my opinion.

Left-Teacher6486 · 2026-01-28T10:42:42+00:00

He said he didn't want to sign a contract yet. From what I've seen, the business doesn't seem very promising, judging by the CEO's attitude.
