The good news is that i don't believe doing a startup out of college is the best idea. Startups serving millennial are way over saturated. There are bigger and more important problems in areas that college grads haven't experienced yet. Get a job at a growing industry that you are interested in. Don't take the job just based on salary. Learn the ins and out of your trade. When you are ready to take the plunge your startup will have a better chance of being useful. Your insider experience and network will be a competitive advantage.
- wsinks 10y agoHow do you measure whether an industry is growing? What are some industries that you're watching right now? Just looking for ideas ;) 28yr old looking around here.
- cableshaft 10y agoVirtual Reality/Augmented Reality. 3D Printing. Drones. Robotics. Autonomous vehicles. Internet of things (maybe, I think there's more resistance to this one). Chatbots/voice recognition. Biotech in general. Maaaybe commercial space travel. Any of those tickle your fancy?
- HeyLaughingBoy 10y agoThere's an alternate approach. Start a business in a dying industry. Most of the large competition will be exiting because they can't make money, but a small 5-person business doesn't need that much to prosper. Microsoft might kill off a product that only makes $500k/year, but for 2 guys in a garage, three $500k/year income streams is doing pretty good.
