Startups aren’t built on money first — they’re built on courage.

In this episode of Everything Startups with XIFAQ, we step into the shoes of founders who once had nothing:

• Airbnb’s founders selling cereal to pay rent 🍽️

• Elon Musk sleeping on the Tesla factory floor 🛠️

• WhatsApp’s Jan Koum surviving on food stamps before selling for $19B 📱

This is the hidden side of entrepreneurship — the nights when wallets are empty, fuel tanks dry, and bills unpaid. If you’re a founder in the trenches, this episode is your reminder: you’re not alone, and your struggle could be the story you tell tomorrow when you’ve made it.
