Re: number two: one of the reasons I dislike going into entrepreneurship right away for career capital is just a basic principle that, if you want to learn something, it’s almost never optimal to rediscover that thing independently. You almost always want to have someone else teach you, if possible.
With this more precise statement, it’s more of a criticism of the “standard model” of startups (two friends from college with similar backgrounds starting a company) versus a critique of startups per se. If you start a company with someone who is significantly more experience than you you might be able to get the best of both worlds.

Going into an accelerator could also help a lot.
