Ask HN: Launching a startup and work on your previous company at the same time?
I have a small affiliate company which generates decent amount of revenue as commission for selling someone else products.<p>I'm now thinking of launching a startup and I am not sure if my startup will succeed. So is it a good idea to work at my affiliate company and do a startup at the same time ? People say to quit your previous job and then only you can succeed in your startup, why can't you work on 2 things at once ? Because I would be just betting on this startup which I'm not sure if it will succeed.<p>Any thoughts ?
