Questions

I have the opportunity to launch my first startup in the Toronto/GTA area. I am confident in my idea and there is a ton of support for a startup like mine. However I am only 20 years old and still a little scared to put it all on the line. I also have the opportunity to travel to Australia for an exchange and I think it would be amazing. However the opportunity cost would be putting my startup on hold for the time being.

Does your startup absolutely require that you be in Toronto? Why not do both? Take the opportunity of the exchange and start working on your startup on the side (and be ready to get into it in full force when the exchange is finished).

I started a company when I was 18 and was traveling the world before I turned 21. I still travel now whenever I feel like, and it has not negatively impacted me in business. In fact, I think it has had a very positive effect as I've learned countless things about people and global markets.

Happy to discuss more over a call if you'd like.
