One of the startups I'm advising is taking off now. What a difference a year makes! Last August, the founder was totally desperate: no traction, no money, no customers, no investors, no nothing. This August, investors line up with the money, the team is growing, the services shows good traction – hope is in the air. Lots of problems, though. Rapid growth requires rapid learning, inclding from your own mistakes. Nevertheless, these are good problems to have.
