"I think this is something that’s important to keep in mind when you think about joining a startup. Who knows how it’s going to turn out. It’s high risk but the ride and opportunity is everything. Last week Eric Freidman from Foursquare reblogged my roller coaster video and wrote: In case anyone is wondering, this is exactly what its like to work at a startup. That’s exactly right. Startups are never easy and never predictable. It requires a leap of faith and an inner voice that says: aw hell, I’m gonna try this and give it my all even though you have no idea how it’s going to turn out. Sometimes you just gotta go for it. And that’s what I think about every time summer comes around."

The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. That’s the start-up roller coaster.
