5 years as well (seems like a sweet spot) although I am a true believer that year of experience don't really matter, if you have a good idea and are passionate enough you'll figure it out and make it happen.
Almost 6 years, but we should all remember, if you've got a brilliant idea, you can pick up everything you need along the journey – learning as you go is all part of the adventure! 🚀
I'm about to start it now and I have about 6.5 years of experience 😬
I should have probably done it last year though. I thought I wasn't ready but working yet again for another startup confirmed that I was and that I'd rather work for myself.
@patrick_sao_e14 by traction do you mean exposure? Or building momentum on a particular project?
8 years, but I have been exploring different things, without really sticking to one particular niche. Starting my own venture was just an extension of this "let's see what happens" mentality. I don't think this desire to explore will ever wane 🙃
I suppose you could say almost 6. I started my business around 18, but had been doing freelance work here and there since I was 13.
I'm proud to have been in business since 2009, and I wouldn't have imagined where I am at today.
I had four years of experience - 1 year in business analytics and then next 3 years in machine learning and deep learning.
Currently I am building in the analytics space using my experience in AI and Analytics. We are having a launch on PH on 17th August. Would appreciate if you guys follow our product SayData to get notified. Would love your upvote and reviews!
@serhii_uspenskyi Cool product and notified! Leave your support it you find any interests in mine - Kyligence Copilot :)
I started Requestly as a side project while I continued to work.
I was having 5 years of experience by that time.
I had 5.5 years of experience in the SaaS industry before I started my own business.
I was 20 and in college, so I suppose I had zero professional experience. However, I had soft experience with sales, etc., and bootstrapped for over 5 years, so that was my experience.
Start soon, fail fast!
