At some point this year I started considering investment. The initial build of With Jack was funded with my own money (money I’d earned photographing weddings at the weekend).
Here are three reasons why it took me over 2 years to launch With Jack.
Last week I cleaned out my home office and found a post-it note from 2013. It was a scribble of the insurance company I wanted to build, forming the basis of what would eventually become With Jack.
Everything about accelerators scare me. It’s a world that I’m not familiar with. Prior to last week, I did’t know the difference between a Venture Capitalist and an Angel Investor. This is my experience applying to an accelerator.
Launches are unpredictable and often underwhelming. 9 months ago I launched With Jack. Now I have 100 customers.
Since launching With Jack I’ve stuck to semi-regular updates. Usually I write a blog post every fortnight or so, but life got in the way.
