No way. If anything you may be at an a significant advantage. Theirs an awesome book by Noam Wasserman "Founders Dilemmas" which puts data behind all factors of founderhood. Your experience could give you a great base of knowledge to work from.

I have been told by some that corporate experience allows you to develop good working relationships that can be used when finding co-founders as well as getting customers.
