Hi adastra22, thanks so much for the honest reply! I really appreciate it. I agree that a PhD does not well for many (very) important parts of building a startup, such as marketing and prototype development. However, could you elaborate on why you think a PhD would not provide useful preparation at all? My thought was to use a PhD to build a broad, advanced technical skill set that might be harder to acquire in industry, where a role may focus on only one technology (or a set of technologies that are not very advanced). But perhaps I’m thinking about this the wrong way…
