Ask HN: Is it bad if I only have experience working in my startup?
10 by hazz99 | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hello! I'm in the early stages of running a small startup/business and expect to reach $10-20k ARR in the next few months. Once we've acquired a customer, the service is automatic and doesn't require manual input. Each customer represents $2-6K ARR, but we don't know their lifetime value. With a bit of effort and marketing I can imagine reaching $200k ARR in the next few years. Split with my cofounder, this could become a very nice lifestyle business, or we could go all-in and do the whole startup thing. But what if it fails? I graduate next year. I'll have a CS degree, but my only experience will be building this. My GPA isn't amazing because I've spent most of my time getting to this point – it hasn't been easy. Any advice?
