I came across this interesting essay – What Startups Are Really Like which was derived from a talk that Paul Graham gave at the 2009 Startup School. Covers a few intersting points such as
- Be Careful with Cofounders
- Startups Take Over Your Life
- Think Long-Term
- Investors are clueless
- Luck Is a Big Factor
…and many more.
