I decided to jump in head first and build a company. I'd been planning to do it for years as a side-project but always ended up too tired in the evenings - so, now that my partner has a job (he was previously at university so we were relying on my income), I've decided to just go for it.
It's scary and chances are I won't make it - but I'm so glad I've at least made a start. At the very least it'll be a nice break for 6-12 months, with some good experience too.
If you're interested in what I'm making, I'm building a simple, affordable web analytics service. There are loads of fantastic tools in this space (Heap is a great example) but they're 1. frankly very expensive (I'm targeting small companies/design studios) and 2. often more complicated than what most people need. Google Analytics has an awful lot of features (and has the advantage of being free) but is really quite complicated, especially for people who aren't as technical.
I should be launching in under a month - please feel free to sign up to be notified if you're interested: http://pleasant.io/
