The very first company I started failed with a great bang. The second one failed a little bit less but still failed.

The third one you know proper failed but it was kind of okay. I recovered quickly.

Number four almost didn t fail. It still didn t really feel great but it did okay. Number five was PayPal. Max Levchin
