Hey, thanks for inquiring.

> Curious, how're you finding founders to interview?

Pretty much just scouring the internet and emailing people cold. Reddit has been a great source of finding interviews (it's how I found this one).

> Anything you've learned building out StarterStory.com that you didn't expect, and if so, what did you learn?

Man, it's really hard to drive traffic to websites these days. Facebook organic reach is pretty much dead. SEO is really hard to build up, especially if you have a site based around interviews. I've had some luck with posting on Reddit. This HN post is definitely my first big break! Super excited to hit the front page.

I've also been doing monthly blog posts about my progress so far if you want to check it out - https://www.starterstory.com/blog
