Age=experience, which is something a lot of investors are looking for. If you have a startup "itch" then scratch it. I have friends who have been in the same situation and have not acted. They played safe, but there is always this nagging in their mind - what if I had done it? That does not go away.

That's what I'm worried about.

I've had three other attempts over the last 20 years, the first when I was 17/18. None of them really took off.

I've been sort of hoping this idea would go away (a sort of 'oh no, not again' feeling), but it won't!

Maybe this is the big one?
