I bootstrapped my first company when I was 23. The company hit a positive monthly cash flow a few months ago and looks like it will break even in 2007. The invaluable lessons that I've learned in the years since finishing college have given me a much better perspective about how the real world operates and will certainly help in future entrepreneurial ventures. Holding down my day job at a multi-million dollar software company (with less than 20 employees) has also helped me learn how to manage and how to sell.
I will be 26 next month, and I've never felt more prepared.
