  • Five reasons why a recession is a good time to start a company -- Melissa Chang

    Added by iisbum 3 years and 10 months ago, viewed 447 times

    A recession is generally a difficult time for companies that are trying to raise venture capital because VCs are less likely to fund companies when the economy is suffering. For this reason, a recession is not an ideal time to start a company that requires a lot of start-up capital to get off the ground.

  • Best time to start a new company -- Ruane11

    Added by Ruane11 1 month ago, viewed 11 times

    Starting a business is similar to starting a relationship; the best time to start a business is when you have the time to devote your attention to it.

    This isn’t to say that there’s anything wrong with starting a part-time business or starting a business when you are still working at a job. People have different energy levels and different capabilities. It’s just to say that to give yourself the best shot at starting a business, you have to be able to focus on it.

    The best time for starting a business has nothing to do with how old you are; it’s a matter of where you are in your life and whether you’re ready and able to face new challenges.
