First time founders can actually take more risk on the ideas that they pick because they don't have other startup friends or they don't care as much. As a second-time founder, you both have access to more people like more smart people who know a lot about startups. But it took me much longer to pick the idea or commit to working on an idea for my second startup than the first startup. And I think it's because we had so many people we could run the idea by and get feedback from. digesting all of that feedback and thoughtful ideas can actually just mean you move slower.
