> It's validating to see a more skilled team put together a solid product

Don't put yourself down. It looks like the founders are reasonably well financed, probably well connected, and of course the Bay area effect.

No, I was in my early twenties, didn't know how to scope a project, didn't know how to effectively push back on scope creep, and didn't really have the technical chops for what we were attempting. I learned a ton and wouldn't make the same mistakes again, but none of us had any prior startup experience. These guys have a lot of startup experience, and being well connected is being skilled at networking. I'm not being self deprecating, this team is objectively more experienced than we were.
