Chris and David Sinkinson didn’t—because they had each other.\r\nThe brothers built and sold their startup, AppArmor, for $40 million. But unlike many founders who struggle with identity and purpose post-exit, they had a built-in support system: each other. With a 10-year age gap and complementary skills, they navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship as a team.
