Oh man. You and I should compare notes (2 IPO, 2 acquisitions here) but I fully agree with you that luck is a big critical factor. People are generally impressed with my background but now on startup 5 or 6 (depending on whether I count my turnaround attempt for boo.com as part of the deal), I still feel that I'm just lucky and need to prove to myself that I can roll out another one.
