Startups aren't very appealing to rationalists, but at some point, you have to ask yourself "Someone is going to let me spend 2 million of their dollars on building something cool, do I really want to let that opportunity go?" Especially when you consider the kind of clowns that get funding out in California.
Not everyone is in a position to accept such a proposition, but with a reasonable amount of perspective and emotional distance, it can be a really good thing for some people.

I'd be happy with something that makes a comfortable living and crucially genuinely helps people, I'd consider that a success and its better than playing the unicorn lottery, plus in the UK the SV attitude of throwing money at everything simply doesn't exist anyway.
