When they need to increase the hiring rate, they have that experience. When they need to raise a round of funding, they're done that. And so on ad naseum.</p><p>I don't think that means that they will be more successful. It means that they will do things faster and spend less time and effort on them, leaving them free to do more, do 'other things', or do thing better. While a new entrepreneur may be overloaded trying to both learn how to raise funding and actually raising the funding, an experienced entrepreneur will only have to raise the funding. That's an advantage in terms of resources and possibly in terms of the quality with which such tasks are done.</p><p>I think 'luck' in some form (<a href="http://blogmaverick.com/2008/10/04/how-to-get-rich/)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://blogmaverick.com/2008/10/04/how-to-get-rich/)">http://blogmaverick.com/200...</a> is the key ingredient to startup success.</p>Ted HowardFri, 10 Oct 2008 13:24:06 -0000
