Before she started Mattermark, Danielle Morrill dropped out of community college, worked in global logistics, was employee #1 at cloud communications startup Twilio, and shut down Referly, the online referrals company she built with her husband, less than a year after graduating from Y-Combinator. Her story is disarmingly honest and full of sass, loaded with great entrepreneurial advice for founders at any stage of their drunken walk.

The Drunken Walk explores the personal narratives of inspiring media entrepreneurs, unpacking the messiness of what it takes to build something from scratch. Success doesn’t happen because of a perfect plan. Hypothesis-testing, action, learnings, and adjustments are all a necessary part of innovation. And sometimes the dead-ends and changes of direction don’t make sense until viewed in retrospect, as a “drunken walk” full of highs and lows.
