I started Requestly as a side project while I continued to work. I was having 5 years of experience by that time.

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.

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?

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! 🚀

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 🙃

Zero, but fortunately I was not alone. My cofounder had 10 years experience, he made a lot during the first years.

I was a chartered accountant and stayed in a Finance Director role for around 5 years. I then started my own company and ran that for 10 years before we successfully sold the business 2 years ago. The years I worked as an employee certainly helped me when I ran my own business

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 believe that around 5 years is a good timeframe (it feels like a favorable balance). However, I also hold the belief that the number of years of experience isn't the most crucial factor. If you possess a strong idea and have the necessary passion, you'll find a way to overcome challenges and turn your idea into reality you can check my business site on https://capcutdownloader.net/.

7 years old and it's still so nerve-wracking because you need to cover the areas you've explored but not as deep

I started my first company when I was 18, with zero experience. I learned it all along the way
