Agree so hard. Start a band(startup) in your garage(garage) with four of your talented musician(programmer) buddies, work long hard hours eating ramen for the love of rock music(hipster programming), get a facebook following(twitter/blog following), get an indie record deal(angel funding) then sign a major label deal (VC funding) and then have the record company(VC firm) dictate your musical direction(business decisions) and take most of your royalties(equity) away in exchange for risking the initial advance, which was only a leveraged loan against future earnings anyway. The VC and record label model are similar too. Invest in 100 promising bands(startups) and hopefully 5 of them are successes and 2 hit it out of the park(IPO).
