It was super painful tbh. I am so glad I had 0 meetings the following week. It took a bit to rebound.
But honestly much nicer to just get it done and move on.

Some of it was trying to not allow my own biases to cloud things. Some of it was hoping to offer a hand up to others who may not get as much attention. Some of it was wanting to just run an experiment and see what happened.
I think the best method is finding a good community to start from. As I alluded to, YC matching has not done this for me.
The other thing is to pay attention to why you didn't like a given cofounder/idea. I identified a handful of industries that just were not for me (hadn't realized this consciously previously)
My glean from the article was that Cambrian has a group for this, but they seem to be focused on fintech -- do you know if there's a similar high-quality community for biotech?
I've heard good things about OnDeck, but I'm not sure how much biotech is there.
Probably not the perfect setup. In retrospect, I should have baked in some breaks.
I didn't expect such a response and suddenly looked at my calendar and was like....ooooo dang. :)
