I had a product idea, my company didn’t want to do it, so I took off 9 months to create it. I am an engineer and had no real sales or marketing plan, just software. I was scratching a really bad itch.

I connected with a startup with a complementary product, and we had some success before the company was acquired in late dotcom madness.
