We all love startup memes as it can relate to our experiences. This is especially the case for entrepreneurs as most people won’t get you, unless they started their own business. While everyone can give out advice to entrepreneurs, chances are they never went out to start a business on their own. It’s just so damn brutal out there! As an entrepreneur you have be extremely selective in terms of which advice do you take and where is it coming from. Some questions to ask yourself include: Have they done a business before? Was it full-time? Do they have build more companies? Regardless of whether it was succeeded or not, experience is the best teacher. This is why we need more actual entrepreneurs at startup accelerators and programs. Chances are if they walked that path, they can share their experiences with you!

This one is hilarious! State of startup media:
