Entrepreneurship - What if I fail?

Hi Monkeys,

First YearIBDanalyst in a sector coverage team who's looking to leave after 1-2 years to create my own start-up.

My question is, assume it doesn't work out and I throw in the towel after 1-3 years and I want to move back to a more "corporate" job likeVC, Consulting,PE… how much does the operational experience I gained outweigh the fact that I "failed".

Now how does it change if I sold the start-up but not for crazy money i.e. 100k – 5m

How do I move back into a more secure job preferablyVC,MMPEor Tier 2 Consulting, is it going to be tough or will the experience I gained be looked on v. favourably?
