In 2013, Sung quit his full time job to pursue a passion project and started a company with $8K in his bank account. To fund the project, he moved into his parents' house, sold his car for $5K, raised $10K from a Kickstarter campaign, and worked 120 hours a week on a number of contract jobs. But after 3 years and $300K+ of development efforts, the project ended up failing.
