You’ve probably noticed we are well beyond the 14 weeks of runway I had at the beginning of this journey and that would not have been possible without the help of a LOT of folks. So this Thanksgiving weekend, I wanted to say how thankful I am for all the folks who have been helping Fruhla along the way, and especially now as we try to raise our seed round.
To the start up veterans providing sage advice, the VCs providing "tough love" for the early business plan, the “connectors” who go out of their way to get me to the right people for no other reason than the love of helping folks succeed, to those who have gone above and beyond to help find start-up friendly work for me personally so I can keep things moving forward and still take care of my family, to the guys writing the code (on very flexible payment terms no less), to my pro-bono finance and legal Jedi, to the awesome folks we share space with who have provided feedback on our tech strategy and even a code review , to the parents and parenting/family experts who have provided invaluable validation of the apps and inspiration for even more, to the folks that "Like" us on FB and follow us on Twitter (which, at this point means you just believe in Margaret and I because we haven't told you a damned thing about the apps yet.-We'll fix that soon!)
THANK YOU ALL, for your support, for we surely would have had to hit the pause button by now without you.
But the person I want to thank most is my wife, Margaret. Without your belief in me, belief in this idea, your support and selflessness as we often forego things in our personal lives in the name of Fruhla, I’d never have even gotten started, let alone persevered. Our family fills me with a warmth, happiness and security I never knew before and you are the heart of our family.
That feeling that someone always has my back gets me through the toughest of times and I can reach all the higher because I know I am never working without a net. No matter what happens going forward, life is wonderful with you guys in it.
