How much of a disadvantage is it?

Hi everyone,

I'm an undergrad student and have a decent business idea that i'm turning into a company. At the moment my entire free time goes into the startup and I was wondering what my options would be if it fails. I go to a good school have good grades and so far had a pretty good life experience. Since I won't be able to do any internships I was wondering how much of a disadvantage (if any) this would give me when applying to fortune500 companies? I understand that entrepreneurship is not necessarily an experience that prepares for the challenges in big corporations. Ibanking will likely be out of reach after this.

What are your thoughts on this? Any input is appreciated.

Oh and nothing in the world can stop me from trying. Finishing school + getting work experience first is out of the question. I will do this no matter what.
