Yeah, but its a metaphor of the creation process. It's perhaps a bit on the light side when it comes to obstacles, but it's not a bad metaphor of the business creation journey.

I would perhaps point out this is not a VC business journey, that snowball looks very different.

And sure, the business starts in a easy environment (lots of snow on the ground) but the idea of starting alone resonates.

And it leaves out the sun. That pesky sun which melts the snow causing 9 out of 10 snowballs to melt. The sun, which melts the snow around you even as you struggle to push. Your direction is meaningless if you insist on pushing away from the snow.
