Ok. So was building my Saas and all was well. And then I got an opportunity to join a E-health startup as an owner (10%). And I took that opportunity!

I realize that I seem to be all over the place but what the hell: "new shit has come to light" as my favourite anti-hero explained to Mr Lebowski.

If this new venture fails (it won't) then I can just pickup where I left the Saas thing. I guess (?).

May or may not continue this thread. But a big thanks to all who read this thread and helped me.
This forum is awesome and I feel a lot more confident on how to help this new company I've joined thanks to you.
