So like, almost every startup ever.
- umvi 6y agoI was under the impression that a lot of startups are run by single people with time to burn "toiling upward in the night" I recently read "Masters of Doom" because someone here recommended it, and both id software and ion storm were mainly run by single people working hellish 80-120 hour weeks. Technically John Romero had kids, but... early on in his startup he divorced in order to free up more time for making games.
- markdown 6y agoI guess it depends on how you define a startup. Many of the "cool" startups that make the tech press are made by kids fresh out of college, but IMO these are only a tiny fraction of actual startups created in the world every year.
