Recessions come and go.
If you can find a sustaining revenue source ealy on, by doing something thatXs truly new and useful, I canXt see a reason why not start a startup even during a recession.
Actually, if what you sell really benefits users, specially if your users are other companies, youXll probably find many of them.
Finally, during recessions, thereXs a lot of great talent available on the market.
ItXs good to remember that most of GoogleXs growth as a company happened during the "nuclear winter" of the web after the bubbleXs burts in 2000.
