Blog post OP here:
Interesting points about the about the mental capital angle. I'd like to think I can just focus on my users, but the reality is that I'd probably be more focused on where'd I'd be sleeping that night.
I think you can make an argument that even jumping into a startup is common sense foolish - that is, you're risking way more than what is normal. What I've given up in opportunity costs in other careers is already huge - this just feels like another step. I've always tried to live by the "go big or go home" mantra. In this case, it's quite literal.
- samikc 15y agoYou are right will. In every sense of it. Anyone starting a startup would want to succeed. I will do this too. Its that, your post gives me a new level of extreme. Startups are hard, we get to hear the success stories all around. But your post was an exception and it gives real sense of what a founder goes through before he makes it. Nice post.
