Yes. Started an ad agency at 23 with two friends, no funding, worked from our three respective living rooms for 6 months until we landed a video project that paid enough for us to rent a 270 square foot office (340 if you include the broom closet).

Six years later, we're at 14 total employees, we've generated almost 4 million dollars in total revenue (1.5 this year), we've never laid anyone off, we've never missed payroll, and I back-packed through Europe for a month last year.

It was extremely difficult and trying. Definitely felt like quitting at some points. Maintaining your relationships with one another is the hardest part. Communication is the key. Communicate as often as possible, and as clearly as possible. It's helps set expectations and reduce disappointment.
