Does Start-up Work experience help with founding my own start-up?

Question

I have a Site idea and the idea seems to be very good on paper. Trouble is that its in the grey area where it can be called lottery or gambling - although it is not.

The Law in India says that I can host public games if they do not involve money as prize. Otherwise, I can host it in closed group format. As in some particular set of people only and not public.

Can I host the site and start my startup in India, but serve other countries where there are no such laws?

Or do I need to host and register my company in another country?

Answer 1

At best you'll be working for a well established startup or one with awesome founders. The main difference with a corporation will be a faster pace, probably more work hours (or less safety) than you've signed up for, less benefits and take home pay unless you hit the jackpot, less bureaucracy if small enough, more autonomy, and more diversity in the tasks you do.
