Why to NOT NOT START A STARTUP

Μετά από ένα καμμένο Παρασκ-Σαββάτο στα μαγάζια της πόλης , το μυαλό μου αρχίζει σιγά σιγά να στρώνει και να ετοιμάζεται για την νέα βδόμαδα...
Σε έναν καφέ που έπινα λοιπόν με τους κολλητούς μου το Σαββάτο , μιλούσαμε για το πως θα καταφέρουμε να κάνουμε μια startup επιχείρηση .
Σήμερα λοιπόν βρήκα ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον άρθρο στο site του Paul Graham και ελπίζω να το διαβάσετε φίλοι μου με προσοχή! Άντε καιρός να βιαστούμε....

Παραθέτω και ένα απόσπασμα που μου άρεσε :
Ι still think 23 is a better age than 21. But the best way to get experience if you're 21 is to start a startup. So, paradoxically, if you're too inexperienced to start a startup, what you should do is start one. That's a way more efficient cure for inexperience than a normal job. In fact, getting a normal job may actually make you less able to start a startup, by turning you into a tame animal who thinks he needs an office to work in and a product manager to tell him what software to write.

What really convinced me of this was the Kikos. They started a startup right out of college. Their inexperience caused them to make a lot of mistakes. But by the time we funded their second startup, a year later, they had become extremely formidable. They were certainly not tame animals. And there is no way they'd have grown so much if they'd spent that year working at Microsoft, or even Google. They'd still have been diffident junior programmers.

n fact, we're so sure the founders are more important than the initial idea that we're going to try something new this funding cycle. We're going to let people apply with no idea at all. If you want, you can answer the question on the application form that asks what you're going to do with "We have no idea." If you seem really good we'll accept you anyway. We're confident we can sit down with you and cook up some promising project.
