In the 20th century you needed a lot of capital to start a company. In the 21st century, you don't.

So how much capital do you reckon you need to start a company, and why isn't that amount "a lot"?

A friend of mine got an MBA at MIT and started a company. He had to spend the first 6 months without any income, living off his savings. On top of the capital he needed to start it.
