"There was so much pain that just went into this and so much
blood, sweat, and tears, personal commitment, you know, working

apart."


It didn't take long for founder and entrepreneur Stephan Heller
to move on and start something new after selling his previous
company. In this episode, Stephan reflects on his experiences
working with startups over the years and shares the lessons he's
learned. We also learn about his current project, AlphaQ, which
