My Cousin Said I "Play with Apps"—Then Her Fiancé's Company Tried to Acquire Mine for $1.24 Billion
What happens when your family thinks you're "just playing with apps" while you're actually running a billion-dollar company? This is the story of how I became invisible to my own family—until my cousin's fiancé tried to buy my company.
For seven years, my family dismissed my work as a "cute hobby." My cousin Jessica told everyone I made step-counting apps. Her fiancé David said it was "nice I had a hobby." Then Hartman Consulting Group—David's company—reached out to acquire HealthTrack for $1.24 billion. They had no idea I was the founder and CEO. Neither did my family.
This is what happened when the deal went public:
How I built a 15-million-user digital health platform while my family thought I was unemployed
The moment David Hartman realized his fiancée's "nerdy cousin" was the CEO he'd been negotiating with for two months
Why my cousin uninvited me from her wedding the day before the acquisition news broke
The family fallout when Forbes published: "The Quiet CEO: How Natalie Park Built a Billion-Dollar Empire While Her Family Thought She Was 'Playing with Apps'"
What my grandmother said that changed everything
The conversation with David that made him postpone his wedding
A story about family expectations, invisible success, and what happens when the truth finally comes out.#aita #reddit #redditstories #redditstory #revengestory #revenge
