Are you ready? Oh yeah - I think you definitely are! This intro episode sets the stage for what Early Days is all about.   If this is your first time here, I'm Deepak Devjani, serial entrepreneur and CTO to startups. I've had my successes and failures, I've built a ton, invested here n there, won some and lost some. One thing that keeps me going is learning from talking to people. So on this podcast I'm bringing on real founders who are running actual businesses that they have bootstrapped / funded themselves. We'll go in-depth on how they got started, exactly what worked and what didn't, how much revenues did they make first year, last year, where are they headed and how do they plan on getting there?! So stay tuned, hit subscribe, and tell that one friend of yours who is also itching to start their own thing.  I encourage you to send along any questions, comments, insights, feedback at twitter.com/ddevjani
