Has anyone here ever made it through to work for a successful startup, create your own thing, or co-invest in a venture. Seems like finance people tend to stay in safer jobs.

PM me, founded an edtech marketplace that got seed/series A funding and is scaling. hired full time employees to run the company and now just sit back.
Would be super interesting if you could tell us more about the process of starting your own company
I founded 3 small businesses so far, either during an economic downtime (I was unemployed) or while I was working in IB: It is a different feel and you have more control, but not every business or startup becomes a unicorn. Most businesses are just there to serve a community need and/or to make money for the owner/operator.
I would do it again but will wait out the pandemic first to see what survives.
