I'm Gagan Biyani, co-founder and CEO at Maven, a platform for cohort-based courses (CBCs). Backed by a16z and First Round, Maven empowers creators to monetize their expertise by teaching their audience via live and asynchronous video. In just one year, Maven has dozens of creators making over $10k and many who have made over $100k. Previously, I co-founded Udemy, a platform for video-based courses or MOOCs. With over 500 million course enrollments, Udemy was the first major MOOC platform online and is the most extensive video courses library on the Internet. I was also co-founder and CEO of Sprig, a food delivery company that raised $60M and eventually shut down. Currently, I'm working on a 3-day virtual lecture series called The Ideation Bootcamp where you can learn how to reverse engineer $100 million startup ideas. I also write about my experiences as a founder here

Let's share what made you happy and be happy together! It's so nice to see other people happy.

Hi there! It's Mary here. I've read a zillion instructions and tips on how to launch, but only a few have written about the purely emotional experience. Tell me how it went, how nervous were you, what were your feelings? I also want to hear funny stories :) Looking forward to your answers! I want to collect all your stories and sculpt them into a guide for people like me (a little unstable haha) And in general, how do you deal with burnout?
