It never crossed my mind that I gravitated to startups because I thought more of my abilities than the value a large company would put on them. At least not consciously. But that's the conclusion of a provocative Asymmetric Information and Entrepreneurship, that explains a new theory of why some people choose to be entrepreneurs.
If you asked me who should join large company and who should gravitated to startups? I would have answered at various times:
If you have below abilities you will gravitated to startups:
I want to be my own boss.
I love risk.
I want flexible work hours.
I want to work on tough problems that matter.
I have a vision and want to see it through.
I saw a better opportunity and grabbed it.
