Look at it this way. It is a job. First and foremost. Then comes the IP and the company. If this can be arranged, and so financial and family concerns taken care of, where would the hesitation then be. Risk of failure? That is inherent in just about anything one can do. Even in just a reguar job. Probably no more here :-). In any case, once you secure funding, there is some comfort that someoine else also shares your confidence in t he idea/product/company.

SO in all, will emphasise again, that if anyone has a good product idea, chase it (atleast till funding). Will be well worth it. I will provide all guidance/support to any such effort.

having been a student and then an aspiring entrepreneur doing a job, i do see how funding can be very critical to provinding the feel of financial security to the venture…
