Here's how you can navigate the transition from a corporate job to entrepreneurship in computer science.

Entrepreneurship excites a lot especially to those who are expert in computer science field. They want to work on their own to earn more profits. However, before leaving job, one must ensure that they have proper planning about their business, projects, either have proper skills by themselves or have team of computer science experts and most importantly finances at least for a year. Along with all this, right direction and finding good clients is the key to fuel a computer science entrepreneurship.

The biggest shift from a stable job to entrepreneurship is a lack of income. Especially in the beginning, before launching a product or service, inward cash flow will be zero. Even after the product is launched, the cash coming in will probably be much less than what one would be used to in a job. But expenses are going to be there. That's why planning finances becomes super-important. Personal finances need to be limited to necessities until there's cash flow and while building the product, look for the cheapest alternative until you know what works. for instance, AWS offers a free tier server for upto a year. That could be a smart option while you're prototyping your product. Budgeting and sticking to the budget becomes absolutely vital.

Most of the businesses fail due to lack of finances. Therefore financial planning is very important. When people tend to start a business in IT World where technologies are changing rapidly,one should be capable to hire a good team with competitive salaries so that they can get best results and can meet clients need before time.

At the end of the day you are solving a user problem. don't get fixated on a tech idea and try to force fit that into whatever you see. It is said that if you have a hammer in hand then everything looks like a nail to you. Understand deeply what pain points users have or what are the inefficiencies in a system and then work to solve it using technology in a clever way.

As developers, our key strength lies in building the product. We can just convert a requirement to code. We don't need to hire a developer to get started. We're great at the 'how' of problem solving. However, what problem we're solving becomes just as important as how we're solving it. Given that we have limited finances in the transition, it's very important to understand the pain that people face which can be eased by a product that you can create. It doesn't need to be clean code right now, but it needs to work and show that it solves a problem

Business fundamentally has some core concepts which aren't rocket science. We supply something that's in demand. If we build something and people don't want it, it's not in demand. If more people want it, there's demand. The pricing of a product is proportional to the intensity of the pain that you're solving. Then comes visibility. Are people seeing that you offer this service? Are they the right people for your business? You don't need formal education to understand these fundamentals, but you do need to have the awareness that you need business education

Entrepreneurs should have good management skills as well along with technical knowledge. If you look forward to run a business and own a company, you should have some experience and knowledge about running and managing a business. For this, try to attend workshops about business management and build networks and link with other people who are already in this domain and running successful businesses
