This, yes, a thousand times. Building a startup is gruelling and I wouldn't be doing it at all if I hadn't had such an urge to fix a problem I actually faced/was angry about and saw that no one else was fixing it.

I'd be worried about the burden this places on teachers (if they are policing it). The normal age 15 cut off seems reasonable. Kids can just deal with it (or resourcefully sneak around if so inclined).

Thanks for sharing :) I too deal with depression (1 in 10 people do), and I think it's important to share experiences to help normalize it for those around us who don't have to deal with it (if I had a dollar for every person who just said 'get over it', I'd be very wealthy).

The common advice I've always gotten is that it should be two. Many incubators/accelerators won't take solo entrepreneurs, and get suspicious if there is more than two. Personally though, as long as the necessary skill areas are covered I don't think it should matter.
