    So there I was standing on stage in front of 700 of my peers. I’d spent the last two days preparing for the presentation. I’d spent the last week getting our software ready to show. I’d spent the last 4 months and my life savings to build a company. I’d spent the last decade trying and failing and learning and saving to get this chance, and I had about a 50% of getting up on stage and having everything I’d worked for blow up in my face.
