I'm a lot like you.

These are exciting times to be an entrepreneur and compared to when I was starting businesses in the mid 90s, not only is it a lot cheaper (I still remember our $1m SGI Indigo web server in 1995!) but the wealth of information and support for startups out there today is incredible. The world has opened up to entrepreneurs and you can really get a running jump by becoming part of the conversation on Twitter, going to one of 80+ OpenCoffee Clubs around the world, reading great blogs from the likes of Fred Wilson, Mark Suster, Brad Feld, Chris Dixon, Steve Blank, Eric Ries, Sean Ellis and Dave McClure, getting your news from Techcrunch and getting your first support from Seedcamp, YCombinator and Techstars. But let’s not kid ourselves, its still super difficult to be an entrepreneur even though costs have plummeted and the opportunities have only increased.
