How many years of experience did you have before starting your own business?

5 years as well (seems like a sweet spot) although I am a true believer that year of experience don't really matter, if you have a good idea and are passionate enough you'll figure it out and make it happen.

I was 30 with 5 years of field experience when I started my startup...

Almost 6 years, but we should all remember, if you've got a brilliant idea, you can pick up everything you need along the journey – learning as you go is all part of the adventure! 🚀

I am a beginnner, still in college. But am working on my own business.

I'm about to start it now and I have about 6.5 years of experience 😬 I should have probably done it last year though. I thought I wasn't ready but working yet again for another startup confirmed that I was and that I'd rather work for myself.

8 years, but I have been exploring different things, without really sticking to one particular niche. Starting my own venture was just an extension of this "let's see what happens" mentality. I don't think this desire to explore will ever wane 🙃

Zero, but fortunately I was not alone. My cofounder had 10 years experience, he made a lot during the first years.

I suppose you could say almost 6. I started my business around 18, but had been doing freelance work here and there since I was 13. I'm proud to have been in business since 2009, and I wouldn't have imagined where I am at today.

I had four years of experience - 1 year in business analytics and then next 3 years in machine learning and deep learning. Currently I am building in the analytics space using my experience in AI and Analytics. We are having a launch on PH on 17th August.
