Your corporate job shows you problems you can't fix because your role is too narrow. A startup lets you solve that exact problem yourself, develop the solution, and serve the market. That's the real opportunity.

Sometimes in corporate world, you can see a problem, you've identified what it is, but there's nothing you can do about solving because your job is over here and your job is to do this. And that's the beauty of building a startup and doing something where you can see a problem, identify the solution for it, go away and build it and service that need. And that's kind of really exciting, as opposed to I'm just doing this, even though I can see these other things over here that I'd much rather be working on.
