People WILL try to create the next Google for free though. Fortunately all of us temporarily embarrassed billionaires have a fallback plan. Just a few years ago, in my late twenties I was seriously trying to apply to YC, with the dreams of getting some funding . Now that I'm a bit older and more discouraged, I've made peace of being a worker bee until I retire. I'm still hoping to get a role with an equity package that allows me to retire sooner rather than later.
