worked at startups in the past but don't intend to start one. I think in general owning a business is quite costly and time consuming. Depends on your jurisidction of course but in general you'll have to take care of your own healthcare, pension, there's no paid time off and what else have you. Given the costs/risks I think of starting a business more of something you do if it's the only way to get what you want but I'm weary of it as a sort of lifestyle choice which startup scenes are sometimes eager to advertise it as.
