Startup dream

I quit my job.

37 Signals, Paul Graham and like have had a big influence on me; among the obvious influences by Google etc. I always wanted to work in a startup (read: dorm room) like setting. But finding good startups [1] in India is hard. And starting one even harder; with no concept of angel investors or YC-equivalent.

Nevertheless after working at big-banner technology companies for about 3 years, i finally decided to take the plunge. I quit [2] my nice paying job to start working on my own startup. Lets see how it turns out. Success or failure, it will sure be fun, and more importantly, a learning experience.

Any suggestions/guidance/++ are welcome.


[1] Some cool startups are coming up lately. But i was, anyhow, more interested in starting one myself.
[2] Note to self: Self, If you ever succeed in building your own company, please let people leave whenever they want. No notice period crap. Instead work to keep the company interesting enough to attract good people.
