Sean Parker recently launched a startup, Airtime, with his Napster cofounder Shawn Fanning.
Until recently, he wasn't sure he wanted to start another company. When you've had a mega success as an entrepreneur, like Parker did with Napster, it's hard to produce something that won't be a let down.
"The expectation thing definitely weighs on me," Parker tells Dealbook. "There’s a sort of fear of launching something and failing,” Parker thinks that's why so many entrepreneurs either become one-hit wonders or venture capitalists. Both, he says, are cop-outs.
