I agree fully with the two other comments. Working for or even starting a startup can lead to great financial success, a good resume, great connections, and a fun experience. It however is a big risk due to lowered salary and sometimes infinite work hours. This risk however has a lower effect when you're young and don't have the expenses or time that someone who is married and has 2 kids has. Additionally as laservr said, do your homework. Since you're taking a risk with that startup you want the odds that you come out of your employment a rich man to be as high as possible. If you see that the idea/company is failing or don't believe in the idea then don't work with them. Short advice: Go for it, but approach with caution.
