How? I don't see how academic achievement can be a liability.
If everyone went around proclaiming real entrepreneurs quit school, sure, I see why it would be a liability.
Otherwise, academic achievement can't really harm. (Coming from someone who does horribly in school.)
- pavlov 13y agoIf I were looking for a co-founder and met someone who is, say, 30 years old and has published several peer-reviewed papers yet has never worked outside academia, I would be wary of starting a business with this person. Startups are nothing like university research, so there would have to be something else to offset this liability. To be fair, the same suspicion would apply to someone who has spent her entire career climbing up the corporate ladder in a traditional big enterprise.
