Your first startup will probably be terrible, and that’s ok. Building a shitty first startup is one of the most important things you will ever do:

If you're wondering how to design your startup's product so that everyone will want it in 10 years, just do whatever would make your friends want it this week. Otherwise your company won't exist in 10 years anyway.

I began my startup journey ~5 years ago with ZERO experience in product, marketing, sales, etc. We were bootstrapped & didn't have money to hire experts. So, I learnt each function. We hit $3 million revenues this year. "I don't know" can be the start of something beautiful :)

If you're a student interested in both technology and startups and wondering how to combine them, the answer is: serially. Focus entirely on technology at first. Then once you're an expert in some technology (which will take several years), you can start to think about startups.
