Half of all businesses fail after 5 years anyway according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. Might as well make a stake in something you can call your own, right? I often think of the pg essay where he claims none of the founders in the first batch regretted the experience. Worst case scenario I think is that you get the kind of experience that every company is looking for in employees. Counterintuitively I think being a founder is one of the best things you can do for your resume, even if you fail.
