>>>>>>When you have that luxury, you go with your heart, and it usually isn't with the money. This is so true. The best start-ups I've worked at where the ones where the founders had real skin in the game and were working as hard as the developers to get the company off the ground. The two start-ups I worked that were miserable failures were the ones where rich founders had a lot of private equity and just burned through the money in short order. The most incredible was a CEO I had decided to buy season tickets to each of the professional teams in town (5 teams), and spent hundreds of thousands to remodel our existing office. The office part was surprising considering it used to house a large tech company who had about 80 employees. At our peak, our company had around 20 employees and had plenty of space.
