I question the value of telling someone they "shouldn't" be an entrepreneur. Even that they "aren't" an entrepreneur.
Closing shop doesn't have to be a permanent thing.
Didn't get accepted for this round of YC? Decide what that means for you, then continue to live your life.
- ericmsimons 16y agoIf rejection makes you stop building the company that you envision, love, and put all of your effort behind, then you will never succeed running a startup. This may be a bold statement, but I'd love to hear what Jobs, Gates, Zuck, or anyone else with expertise in the area have to say.
- gumbo 16y agoI definitely agree with this. If you applied to YC to have your project validated by @pg and associates. Then you should think twice about your real motivations. Only close shop when you're sure your idea is not a good one or that you KNOW that you're not able to achieve it.
