Behind almost every "overnight success" is a long list of people who said no first.
A no from an investor shows you what to tighten in the story. A no from a customer shows you where the product falls short. A no from a candidate shows you what the role needs to offer.
None of it feels good in the moment. All of it moves you forward.

@marcussegal (Investing Partner at @a16z) shares the habits that keep founding teams aligned when the pressure rises:
