I am sure there's going to be a parody of this sooner or later


1 year later, go back for Series B after people get sick after eating ice cream so you have to restart the entire company, 2 years later fire your first 3 employees and shut down the factory as sales dwindle due to economic recession, 3 years later fight to stay alive due to competition from Ben and Jerry's who have now invented their own version of your product as your friends and family leave you and your health lapses, 4 years later get sold in a fire sale to a large Chinese company, don't get any money because of the participation of the VC's, and go get a job at Ben and Jerry's. You are now bald and in your mid-thirties.

(Seriously though, sell the company for $200M after 1 year, not very realistic!)
