I know that most people who are close to them tend to deny their existence, as we saw in the great housing bubble of 2002-2007 and the dot com bubble of 1997-2000. For others it feels like a two-speed economy, where rules apply to hot tech startups that don’t apply elsewhere. That happened a lot in 2002 and again in 2008.

Visionary ideas and dreams of startup success are what keep us inspired. Given that 2 out of 10 startups fail in the first year and just half make it to the five-year mark, you likely recognize that the risk-taking spirit can be potentially destructive. Entrepreneurs are, by nature, big thinkers and risk-takers.
