RE: What it takes to be an Entrepreneur - Doing my part - Clayford08's Opinion Corner
It sounds like you've got some experience in this department. What business are you currently running?

Not hands on myself. I am yet to start a business myself but intend to do so at one point, which is why I keep note of the people I meet who could potentially be relevant early stage co-founders or co-workers. Some of my best friends are entrepreneurs however and so I've been continuously speaking with them, and both seen and heared the challenges and success stories there.
But I've always attended every StartUp Weekend, LEAN StartUp workshop etc that I could. And in my work starting an incubator I was working with a lot of people who were experienced with VC investments and selecting StartUps for incubation centre spots etc. All of whom focused on what they saw in the team before thinking about the quality of the idea itself. Because as I said, how the idea plays out in practice will most likely change, but the team needs to be the right people to make it work in the end.
