Thanks for the advice.

>Do you want to be an entrepreneur? Do you want to build a product and company, work for startups, or work in enterprise software development?

I want to be an entrepreneur, running my own company on organic growth rather than VC money. I don't have a problem with being acquired but I don't want to be using other peoples' money.

But before I attempt that I want to work as an employee of startups to gain business experience, making mistakes and learning from them while still earning a salary.
