I have had a few bites at the start-up cherry; the first at about 18, the latest at about 45. Nothing has failed spectacularly (I'm still using the company I started at 18), and the previous one now has a decent turnover (~US$15m/y). I think that I have a better chance of paying attention to more of the important things with the current one, and letting go of the ego a bit more. We'll see! I've only been someone else's employee for about 2 years out of my working life of about 30 years. What is this "risk" you speak of? B^> Rgds Damon
