Morally: you've paid into unemployment while you worked and you're cutting short the safety net you'll get if the startup bombs and you have to look for another job later. You're probably internalizing enough of the downside that you can take unemployment with a clear conscience.

- pseut 14y agoOne more thought on this: no one on unemployment is obligated to take the first job they can find. Part of the reason for unemployment insurance is to give people time to find a job that's a good fit. In the broader sense, that's pretty much what you say you'd like to do by trying the startup.
