I've worked in a lot of coworking spaces where inevitably someone starts a group to talk about the harsh realities of starting a business. It sounds like Gambler's Anonymous.
Surprised to hear only 70% fail. Those odds actually sound pretty good. I've made enough in the startup world to pay the bills for a decade, but probably below my market rate at a big tech co.
I don't regret a thing. Each time I get a bit further into the wealth creation game. But I also wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and actively work on dissuading new founders from trying.
- justherefortart 8y agoI'm on startup #8. I would be retired if I just worked the last 25 years instead of doing startups. Startups are fun though, working at corporate jobs is so soul sucking I can barely do it for the time frames between startups. If I'd just followed the safe path, I would have totally regretted not trying to go out on my own. My only regret is marrying a terrible person the first time around, crapped out on that one :-/
