You may also want to consider the timing in the economic cycle. During the last recession Paul Graham wrote an essay or post to say that was a good time to start a venture. IIRC he mentioned plenty of talent available cheaply, not many competitors in your space... The corollary may be that now is not a good time to start a venture- shortage of talent at astronomical costs, multiple competitors in every niche... The current market reminds me a lot of the dotcom bubble. And the first response saying 'this time it's different', I'm going straight out to short tech stocks.
