I'd say get a job in an industry you are actually interested in working. If you've been doing your own thing from 15-25 you could probably benefit from some practical experience at a company that's successfully executing in a space in which you want to break. 1-3 years experience at another company will give you a ton of valuable insider knowledge making your next startup (maybe one you even start whilst employed) that much more likely to succeed. Don't give up! But maybe make a change.

Agreed. Having some real world industry experience is really invaluable. Plus, if/when you eventually do "succeed" with a startup, the next stage is actually building a company - and it's going to be difficult to do that without having actually worked at real companies (preferably more than one) to get an idea of how things work, and how you want to do things.
