Is your startup something you can build as a side project while you work? You can do a lot of testing and validation without putting yourself at risk if this is an option. I'm pretty new in the startup scene but am happy to bounce ideas with you if you like. My contact info is in my profile.

There currently isn't a startup idea I have. There's some random ideas I've thought about pursuing, but I'm still waiting for something that really inspires me to dive in. I have one small side project with ~11,000 users, but it's entirely free and monetization of it is quite tricky. It's a donation model now, which many would say has failed. $23 in three years.

So I'm still looking for an idea I love. I figured in the meantime it makes sense to orient myself in a startup. That way I can figure out the way things truly are and convince myself that building one myself is a possibility for me.

Thanks for your response.
