Statistically there is almost no chance of becoming a professional athlete, but it is much easier to measure if someone should go down that road because athleticism is easy to measure.
How do you measure if you are good at ideation, coding, architecture, and the myriad other skills required to run a startup? Unless you are implying that a startups success has little to do with the founders.
- scarface74 4y agoAll indications are that a startups success has to do a lot with pattern matching (does the founder look like Zuckerberg) and VCs don’t have a good track record of picking successes. They can lose money on nine out of 10 investments. They are well diversified. As an employee, you can waste years of your life at one of the other ten. And coding and architecture has little to do with a startups success - and I say this as a “coder” for 25+ years and an “architect” who gets paid decent money at BigTech working with other companies helping them design their cloud architecture.
