I feel it is sometimes helpful to see the other point of view. Lets say I had an interesting technical problem to solve and some funds, why should I give it to you instead of somebody else? Also, as an aside, I've found that "interesting technical problems" stop being interesting when you are building a product. The sexy stuff is finished very early on, and then the vast majority of time is spent on polishing/bugfixing/documentation and decidedly non-sexy stuff.
