We were somehow conditioned to believe that we either have to be the Founder or nothing.
We are not losers if we are employees and not employers.
We don't have to be the CEO to pursue an idea we are passionate about.
And if it is impact that you want; think that most often, the impact you can have joining an existing successful company will be waay bigger than reinventing the wheel and building your own.
I do respect the nobility of wanting to be your own boss and doing your own awesome thing but in general(not giving advice for this specific case), that's not the only way..
