What's your recommendation for a business graduate who wants to build a tech startup?

Hey Anon, I'll recommend you to take a 6-month internship (or two) at an early stage, fast-growing startup with a strong founding team.

Look out for companies with team size <10, pre-seed/seed round funded companies.

The reason being, you’ll get a firsthand, inside look at the journey you're about to venture into as a startup founder.

The early days/years will feel like dog years. Experiencing the grind first hand without any significant risk/downside (less the opportunity cost of making a decent post-grad salary and time) is a great way to start your entrepreneurship journey.​​​

Why must it be a tech startup? Are you familiar with the intricacies of the tech world that you know will be a good solution to whatever problem you're facing. Is there any merit to your solution that is actually helpful or simply doing it because it's the cool new things now?

I see tech as a way of automating manual processes to make life easier, if you can find the headache-inducing manual process then you can find a suitable tech solution to it. Find the problem to solve first before jumping onto a solution.
