Don't have enough karma for a poll, but I'm interested to see how entrepreneurs see their startups: personal or just business?
Also, please mention whether you're a first time, serial or future entrepreneur
Ask HN: Entrepreneurs, are startups just business or personal too?

#2For me, it's more personal than anything. I hate DRM, so I try and come up with a solution, which I want to turn into a startup. Also, I'm a first time/future entrepreneur.

#3Serial, and just business.

#4I think that every first-timer's company is personal. Even if you're working on a problem that you don't experience, it's hard not to see your company as an extension of you. After all, you've put hour of your life into it.
Eventually, through the roller coaster of the startup life, you begin to learn how to separate yourself from the your company.
