Creating a startup is like half waking up in your sleep. You're thinking about a million different things, you feel an unknown anxiety, and you can't figure out why your arms don't work. At least that's been my experience with it so far.

In this blog I'm going to chronicle my experience/obsession with creating a startup. Myself, along with two friends, recently founded Tript Technologies. Hopefully there will be some enlightening moments come from saving my thoughts and experiences here in this blog.

Everyone says don't start a startup just to start a startup. Let me rephrase that. I heard Sam Altman say that in a Y Combinator lecture. I understand their notion that you should do it to solve an underlying problem or because you have a revolutionary idea that you strongly believe in. I agree that it requires a certain amount of conviction to lay yourself out there and take the risk to create, share, and innovate. With that being said, I'm not patient enough to take Sam's advice.

As a company we are founding from the outside in. We know we want to be entrepreneurs. We know we have the tolerance for risk, the drive to succeed, and the capacity to create. The three of us have been moderately successful in our brief careers, so we have more than enough confidence. The one thing we didn't have on day one? An idea. It started as Steven and I complaining about how we did not feel driven in our current positions at our companies. We begun brainstorming and soon after brought James into the mix. We have formed some ideas, we've defined our roles in the organization, we've begun developing a product, and we are beginning the process of incorporating...in Delaware. So we may be going about it ass backwards, but we are still going about it.

This blog will hopefully serve as an education to some and a source of amusement to all.

I'd like to think Stanford University, Y Combinator, Sam Altman, Paul Graham, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk. Your videos and lectures are a huge source of inspiration.
