tyohn··on Startup founders, how old are you?
I’m 39 going on 20. The other two co-founders involved in this start up are 49. They are extremely intelligent and the experience they bring to the table is invaluable. I know there is something to be said about youthful exuberance but experience has to factor in somewhere. "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." -- Mark Twain
tyohn··on I Dropped Out of Grad School Today
I hate to play devils advocate but is dropping out of school a reflection of what is to come when the start up work gets tedious? Please don’t get me wrong I believe you should follow your passion and if that takes dropping out of school or climbing Mt. Everest follow Nike and just do it! Maybe dropping out of school shows the investor that you are serious but are you dropping out because you are serious or because you’re bored and this offers you a way out? Am I way off on this line of thought? By the way if I was facing the same decision I would drop out too.
