Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Founders and entrepreneurs know the story: rejection, failure, but also resilience, re-double efforts, have a strong vision and determination and potential for success. And all taken as a learning experience. This podcast is an example of it. Someone got rejected from YC (which is more normal than you think), and by that, her learnt and achieved success. Not despite being rejected but because everything in life is an opportunity to learn to iterate and become better. Persistence, adaptability and a clear vision are a key factor, not money or luck, for a successful outcome. What have you learnt?
