My main problem with doing some startup is lack of experience and buisness acumen.The technical side of building a product doesn't scare me. My main expertise is in software development and DevOps but I have dipped my feet into enough things to get a hang of most. I'm not great at a lot of things far from it but I know enough to get the ball rolling. I built an AI app in a weekend for a user here and the last time I opened the docs for it, was months ago. I can learn whatever is necessary to get a project off the ground but when it comes to business acumen, corporate compliance, and scaling an actual company. Iโ€™m completely blind.

Iโ€™d need a co founder I can actually trust, not a random contact from a cold email that slid into my inbox on Tuesday afternoon. I've already been through a lot these few years. If you have read life story thread my life has been chaos after 16 and only now I have any semblance of security and stability. And Trading that stability for the chaotic startup deep end when you've only ever handled the tech side feels like an unnecessary gamble. but I guess I can never be more prepared. I wish I could trust myself more I want to be my own boss too but what I'm afraid of is the leap of faith

Read every word

And I can tell you around 80% of teen are like you


I'm like that btw , and can't find a solution yet.


Maybe it's too late to be more confident about ourselves

Or we should wait more and gain more experiences


I don't really know man.

Do not fall for the young founder grift. The older a founder the more likely their startup is to not fail. I think I saw a statistic comparison once that showed that 45+ year old founders who've built their career on the industry their startup is in basically mog young founders out of the water on average

Correct. All the startups that actually scale and work are founded by guys much older. Typically in their 40s with decades of experience and contacts

You're thinking I have to validate my reps. I'm an independent poster and can rep without commenting when I want or choose to. You do not control me.

How well do you know senior people from companies youโ€™ve worked at before? Iโ€™m assuming youโ€™re not old hence the lack of business acumen etc, because theyโ€™re not things that can necessarily be taught but rather learned over time and experience

If you know someone older youโ€™ve worked with previously who has that experience (and even more to your benefit has worked in the same industry) that might be looking for a change or like you say leap of faith, itโ€™d be worth talking to them

Older founders do better
