Here’s a few interesting posts about startup failures and getting off the sidelines. It’s much easier to criticize startups and talk about what companies should be doing from the “bench”. In fact, most people will spend their lives talking about how they want to start a company, but never do. It’s takes a certain type of person to deal with the day-to-day uncertainty that a startup brings. Do you have what it takes? The funny thing about this question is you can’t answer it until you try. Maybe someday I’ll know.
