software engineer building a startup - rejected by vc

i quit my job to build https://oonalab.ai full-time✨

i had a great opportunity to interview with a huge global venture capital investor!

two rounds of interview. disappointing result. but is it really disappointing though?

facing failures and adversities is such a difficult challenge for founders who are chasing dreams. and it happens over and over again through out my startup journey.

i'll tell you all about the interview process, how the rejection went down, and how i handled it.

most importantly, what is next?

what's my plan to grow oona?
