Kevin Rose on launching a startup…now.

I recently read Paul Graham’s Why to Start a Startup in a Bad Economy. It’s super encouraging for someone in my position because it affirms yet again that my efforts towards starting SocialDreamium are NOT wasted. It also affirms that starting a company now is actually very well timed. I’ve always thought that starting anything when times are bad is actually good. It’s just like the “buy low, sell high” mantra of investing. If you start something when an industry is down you can ride the upswing and potentially get very wealthy.

Kevin Rose talks about his take on Paul’s article and shares some of his experiences with starting Digg.

Absolutely. I really like the encouragement not to quite your job and that
you can definitely start a startup with a phases approach to both time and
money investments.

There is a reason that Rose is reach celeb status. He makes this seem
achievable and real.

Thx for reading Sukhjit.
