Couldn't agree more. As a serial co-founder myself, I can't wait to be able to fully start businesses with no VC involvment. One thing is bogus in the article though: it's age-biased. $3000/m to cover living expenses for the founders? Yes, if you are talking about kids straight out of college living in a dorm. What about slightly less desirable older people, like say 30-year old (now, that's old :-). So a startup with 3 founders would need closer to $15,000/month of revenue. Well, it's not so easy to generate that kind of revenue. The better advice is to find co-founders who can work part-time (evenings and weekends). That can sustain itself for a long time, even if it feels like it takes forever to get anything done. fairsoftware.net - where software developers share revenue from the apps they create
