I made the decision last week to leave Pressflip.
I'm leaving for personal reasons: mostly because I'm going to be a father in March and need some stability, but also because I'm tired of the fight.
Entrepreneurship is very emotionally and physically taxing, and it's too much for me at this point in my life. Maybe I will pick it up again when I've got more experience under my belt.
I'm not sure yet where I'll end up. I'm working on a couple of options.
The product is in good hands. Matt and Kyle will continue to develop Pressflip, and I'll continue to be a user.
When my kid is born, maybe I'll finally sign up for Flickr.
Update, 10/18/08: TechCrunch has picked up on this. As is Michael Arrington's usual style, he is showing his personal vendetta against me to mischaracterize what I've said. My priorities have changed. I am now facing fatherhood, and I want to do what is best for my family.
This is horrifically irresponsible on Michael's part, but that sort of thing is to be expected. Michael, you should be ashamed of yourself.
