Starting side business

I’m at a very nice UMM PE shop and hours aren’t bad right now, so I’ve decided to build a side business, given I also know how to code.

Along the way, I realize that I have almost totally lost interest in my main PE job — making slides, making charts, looking at data, and talking to management has become incredibly boring.

I really enjoy the process of building. Have about a year left in the PE contract. Think I will pursue entrepreneurship afterwards, by applying to a startup accelerator.

Anyone have any thoughts?
