I started my first company when I was 13 and started working full time at Apple when I was 15. So I certainly believe people can accomplish whatever they set their minds to at almost any age.

But in many cases, I think the best starting point for someone like yourself is to work for a founder and gain experience first-hand before starting your own company.

Find a startup of less than 10 people who operates in an area similar to yours. Offer to volunteer or work for next to no money. Offer your help in any area you think you can help. But pick a team whose CEO is transparent and willing to give you time to immerse you into what's going on at their company.

I think "plunging into the deep end" of entrepreneurship is really painful and hard. Why should you have to learn every lesson the hardest way possible?

Happy to talk about any of this in a call. Best of luck.
