I worked at early, fast growing startups and later founded and raised venture capital for my own startup. You'd think I'd agree with this article, but I actually don't, here's why:
1) Working at fairly successful startups gave me excuses to put off starting my own company because I was still "learning so much." In retrospect, I should have started my own company years earlier.
2) Identifying startups that will turn into rocketships is hard. If you are that good at identifying successful startups early on, you should probably consider becoming a VC. :)
