How has your time in startups panned out? Were those 2 successes worth the failures?


100%. The one thing you get at a bigco is bigness -- you can release a product to potentially millions of customers on day 1. When you call on a possible customer or partner, they return your call immediately because BigCo is on the line.

On the other hand, I can't stand how corporate politics corrupt a product's vision. Even low-level politics like "strategy taxes" are infuriating.
