Thanks Ed. This really great. I'm in my mid 30's and looking to start a company.
There is a lot that can be done to mitigate risk. My biggest issue is that my time is limited and I don't have the luxury of taking a couple years off to make a go at it (not yet at least).
So I am trying to find a potential business (software related) that I can build on the side that gains enough traction that I need to devote full time to it.
I feel like under my circumstances, I shouldn't even try but I think its worth an effort.
Why do you think you shouldn't try? As long as you approach it as a side project unless things take off (don't bet the farm, don't sacrifice family), all you are left with risking is your time.
