> Are you really leaving finance for a tech job if all of your clients are in finance? I'd be concerned if these people left finance to create another photo sharing app. If their contacts, network, and expertise are in finance, and they are solving a problem this industry has, why not maximise their expertise? Plenty of good startups are started by insiders (be it networking, energy, healthcare, biotech, publishing, etc) > Also, did he really risk his life savings on this? Probably not, why should he? Wouldn't it be sensible to be frugal? Embrace the lean startup approach? I'd rather take the Eric Rice approach to startups, than that of Color Labs. Be lean, focus on solving a problem, great product, and focus on sales.
