- jatins 4y agoStartups are much more team work as compared to success in sports. And success of many startups can be attributed to being in the right circles rather than founder's skill/grit. The modern day founder hero worship is exaggerated imo.
- j33zusjuice 4y agoIt seems like you’re downplaying the importance of teamwork in sports. There are very few who succeed in sports who aren’t team players. Most of them fizzle out before we ever hear about them. Otherwise, I agree.
- emodendroket 4y agoYou can always just get a job later in that case.
- kaashif 4y agoThis is true. Founding a startup probably makes one more employable for more jobs than training for tennis every day.
- j33zusjuice 4y agoOf course it makes you more employable. If you put in some real effort towards running a business, you have to gain some amount of business knowledge. People who understand business implications of technical decisions are usually pretty well-paid.
- js8 4y agoTotally. Deep inside the capitalist machinery, what really propels it forwards is the irrational human need to do something really crazy. If only rational MBAs ruled the world, nothing new would ever happen.
