speaks, are you trying to find a rationalization to stick with what you're doing? the whole 'fun' thing has two aspects. There's the practicality aspect i.e. business in general and startups in particular are painfully difficult and you can't really win if you don't like (or ideally love) what you jump in to. If you can work only 8 hrs a day but your opponent loves his work and words 14 hours a day you're screwed. There's also the reality aspect. NO ONE ever does a start-up without motivations like money and pleasure and importance. If your prime modality is making money and comfort then a start-up isn't right for you at all. Also, all your reasons for wanting to do a start-up are meaningless. stepping stone to other opportunities? if you're taking such a big risk fucking do something that is the ultimate opportunity.
