The financial purgatory expected by angels is ridiculous and one we never subscribed to and is far too much like a parent child relationship than an adult to adult relationship. Investors who want their founders in a tonne of personal debt and living on baked beans are hurting their investment and stroking their ego. Investors are trying to sell money, companies are selling a possibly enormous return on that money, it's a win-win and founders should be treated like the professionals they would be in industry. Start ups have basically unlimited upside risk for investors and totally limited (to the amount of money invested) downside risk for them (and in the UK very healthy tax breaks for investing), the founders on the other hand loose years building a product that may prove worthwhile, don't make them carry years of financial pain and repercussions because they tried to grow your $5-$100K.
