Every Great Startup Needs a Lucky Break
Unlock $100,000+ in AI credits to help build your startup
Sometimes all you need is a lucky break, like finding a cheap garage in Menlo Park when your startup needs an office. It might be small and scrappy, but that didn’t stop Sergey Brin and Larry Page from calling it Google’s “worldwide headquarters.”
A year later, they moved into new offices and brought their landlady, Susan Wojcicki, with them. She became Google’s first CMO and eventually the CEO of YouTube.
In the early days of Intercom, Eoghan McCabe “borrowed” a desk in a friend’s San Francisco office and took every meeting he could. It was much easier to focus on the future of customer service when he wasn’t worried about where to keep his laptop.

Lucky breaks that started it all
Cereal Entrepreneurship: Airbnb
In 2008, when funding was out of reach and credit cards were maxed, Airbnb founders stayed alive by selling hand-designed cereal boxes (Obama O’s and Cap’n McCain’s). Their quirky idea brought in $30,000, enough to keep their dream afloat until investors came around.Luckey’s Break: Oculus
Palmer Luckey built VR prototypes in his parents’ garage and posted about them on an obscure 3D forum. Gaming legend John Carmack saw the post, requested a prototype, and showcased it at a convention. Overnight, Oculus became real.The Cold Call: Apple
At 12 years old, Steve Jobs opened the phone book and dialed Bill Hewlett of HP, asking for parts to build a frequency counter. Instead of hanging up, Hewlett sent the parts and offered him a summer job. One phone call changed everything.“Quitters” Sometimes Prosper: Intercom
In the early days, Intercom’s founders built an app called Quitter based on Twitter’s API that notified people when someone unfollowed them. That led to a meeting with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone who went on to invest the first $100,000 in Intercom.
Take your shot
As Des said, Every startup is just one person, one opportunity, one yes away from turning ‘what if’ into ‘what’s next.’
The Fin AI Startup Pack might just be that yes for your company.
