(Mobile) Devs, how important do you see joining a company before starting your own Business? I have been into android for a year now and freelancing for 6 months. I want to start a company and sell some apps B2B. My girlfriend however says it would be better to join a company first and get enterprise experience, I dont see the point becausw nowadays there are countless of blogs and videos in the internet that teach you anything you want to know. Opinions?

    if you go startup solo youre taking a crash course in business.. I'd side with your gf if you don't have any experience working for a company. make connections there, study what works/doesnt, learn from mgmt how they do the business side of things, get some professional exp under your belt (assuming your business would just be an extension of your freelance) also! setting up a company is a hell of a lot of work, time and money. I'd recommend slowly building up your plan, do branding, etc then launch when you feel your ready

    @CortDavis I am talking about B2B in mobile apps and I did alot of research on my nieche and there are very few (here in south America almost none) competitors. I have done my research abour that market, the demand is high and the offer low

    I freelanced then got a job at an ad agency. Knowing the difference between working on your own and working on a business environment is highly valuable. Clients expect different things from freelancers and businesses. I highly recommend getting the experience of an agency or firm. It changed my perspective.
