TL; DR

The last 2% of work in startup life will cause you most of the strain.

I've written about the "Law of Schrödinger's Cat" that describes how innovation teams live between the progress already made and the requirements left to fulfill to produce something that's "good enough."

But in startups, this principle goes even further.

You have must-have milestones. But you lack subject experts and infrastructure to help you pull it off.

So it all comes back to you. Your work. Your strain.

And yes, you learn. But you can't be an expert at everything. It will be hard.

Pulling through takes a supportive, selfless team and relentless willpower.
