Hey sweaty startup,
Looking for input from founders who have navigated the road of leaving a corporate "white-collar" 9-5 job in pursuit of a sweaty startup.
I find expectations from others to continue on in corporate life and climb the ladder are deterring me from taking the leap in to a sweaty startup. I feel as though the only socially acceptable path is a "non-sweaty" business. I think this is partly due to the sunk cost fallacy of getting a 4 year degree.
