Yes, it was a learning to not do it again :)

Answer

Failure can be valuable if you use it as a learning opportunity and develop. The initial failure may serve as a wake-up call that forces you to change your strategy. Really learning not to repeat the mistake. :)

I would say yes, because I was launching product, which I didn't like in many ways.

Mostly I wanted to make a living from it. Firstly I had enthusiam, interviewed potential customers, build MVP, but soon I lost my interest.

I haven't launched publicly, but I have working MVP. But I can't. It's really important for me, to do smth I really like. Money is not the main goal. That was a lesson I got.

Now building thing, which is I really passionate about — fintech hub. Place where first time fintech founders, product managers and VCs could learn technologies, growth cases, basics of technologies and even more.

Thanks for asking!
