I might have the opportunity to work with an experienced entrepreneur and start a company with immediate product market fit/cashflow from their network (high probability of success).

I am 24 with 3 yrs corporate experience.

Having done several startups, I am refreshed with now operating an existing business. It is so much easier.
See if you can buy something in the same space as your startup would be- this value add is exactly what you'll need for growth.
The thesis of "Buy then Build" is one that I agree with still- buying an existing business has significant benefits over startups.
