Startup depression?

by ShannonCherry on September 30th, 2008

Jason Calacanis recently wrote about Startup Depression in an email and on his blog. And I think many of his points are spot on.

I agree that things in the startup world will be drying up for a while, so if you are in the midst of a startup, you need to be focused. Everything you do needs to be analyzed for effectiveness in order to survuve the slump that’s about to happen.

Jason shares his own story of his first startup, and with it shares a ton of ideas and advice to help you with your startup now.

Notice I said ‘now’? That’s becuase the longer you wait, the harder it will be to keep afloat.

    I wouldn’t say that there is so much of a depression in that entrepreneurs aren’t giving their ideas a go. I just think most are more concerned about, in the current climate, whether they can ride the storm with all of the other challenges that they face early in development.
