Startups: "I take a break" means "I give up"

Is it just me, or do a lot of the reasons listed seem to be focused on founders that are still in some form of school? I doubt that a frequent reason that non-college going founders fail is because "one of the founders chooses to do a term abroad and get back to the startup "later"".

Yes you are right. My two co-founders and me are still in college/university. We live - to some extend - in a college world and we face problems which may not be faced by folks already out there working at companies.

You might want to add that qualifier to your article. Startup founders and employees may be in different life phases; your advice is likely to be relevant only to college-aged founders.

Thanks for the feedback. I added a paragraph making clear that I'm an undergraduate student
