Week 5 Reading Reflection

What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?

I was aware that there were going to be risks in starting a business, but it did not occur to me that there were so many.

Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.

I was intrigued by the fact that there are startups that do not necessarily have a clear objective or service that they will provide.

If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?

 How long does the post-startup phase last?  When does it end, does the entrepreneur stay with the company or move on to another project?

Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?

I believe that the author did not bring up the fact that capital could also be an external problem instead of only an internal problem.
