Why Entrepreneurs Start Companies Rather Than Join Them

If you asked me why I gravitated to startups rather than work in a large company I would have answered at various times: "I want to be my own boss." "I love risk." "I want flexible work hours." "I want to work on tough problems that matter." "I have a vision and want to see it through." "I saw a better opportunity and grabbed it.

It never crossed my mind that I gravitated to startups because I thought more of my abilities than the value a large company would put on them.
