I wonder how many close friends does a startup cost too?
I am guessing If you are a founder, your time for social life will be very very limited, and a startup will cost 2 or more close friends.
One thing I found out, is that in general (for guys at least) is very easy to catch up and reconnect even after a long period of time of disconnect, as long as they are in the same stage lifes (eg. both being single, or not having kids, or both having a domestic life and kids, etc.). The disconnect becomes more permament when one enters a completely different stage of the life (having kids, will the major one), than the other friend.
- bkrausz 16y agoI think this is one of the biggest perks of YC: I have more friends because I did it, not fewer. I met some of my closest friends there (and even got introduced to my girlfriend through one of them). Seems like a net gain to me ;-).
- robryan 16y agoEven without something like YC it gives you to opportunity to connect with others doing startups, as long as your city has a startup/ coworking ecosystem. Probably met more people and had way more interesting conversations since getting involved.
