A noodle shop tried to open in San Francisco this year.

$50,000 to pay for the lease, cooking equipment, and furniture.

$3,600 per month to pay for rent plus utilities.

$100,000 in the hole. And it's still not open.

Why?
First, an anonymous caller phoned into 311 and reported the noodle shop owners - Yoko and Clint Tan - were doing work without a permit.

Not true. They had simply disconnected a sink to work on a bathroom tile and light fixture.

An inspector ordered the work to stop.
The Tans filed new permitting. Sending the same information five times.

Every step, they were handed off to different people in the city government with different instructions.

"Nobody could give me a straight answer for anything"

As @Amplitude_HQ nears its IPO, it is the end of my startup journey which began with @clearbraininc five years ago.

And so I wanted to shared the many lessons I learned along the way, and the many people who helped me learn it.

The most consistent lesson: people > products.
1 / Surround yourself with good humans

The first couple months of a startup can be rough. Failure, rejection, stress.

What got me through it were my roommates. And their dog. And lots of pizza.

Thank you @thisisgrantlee, Sandy, and Bernie for the unconditional support.
2/ Optimize for serendipitous relationships

I met my cofounder at a random ex-Googler lunch. Neither of us planned to show up till the last minute.

But we pushed ourselves to attend, and hit it off.

Thank you @ericpollmann for taking a chance on me.
