Since every startup is different, I don't know how universal any advice might be. If you are not financially wealthy, be prepared for a long haul if your project is non-trivial. Without significant resources, you have to do everything yourself and revenues could be years away.
Not being able to quit your day job and devote all your time to it can push the schedule back significantly.
Sometimes, you can convince others to join you for a while without pay (only promises of equity), but unless they are 'all in', they generally fall away pretty fast.
- mind-blight 4y agoYeah, I've started one company and spent over a year funneling my own money into it. I learned a lot of expensive lessons that can be summed up as "a product isn't a company". That was 5 years ago, and I'm starting to feel the itch again. I want to be much better prepared than last time if I choose to take the leap.
