Anecdotally, most of these startups also don’t seem to have a frugal culture. Which is fitting because they came about in an era of easy money.
People don’t talk enough about Amazon and its culture of frugality. If Amazon wasn’t a frugal company right from the very get go, I doubt it would have survived the dot com crash.
