Re: safety net -- I had some cash saved up from a previous exit, but certainly not enough to not work again. And the first year of Susa Ventures was pretty stressful because I was taking $0 salary, not sure how successful we'd be at fundraising, and getting staler and staler on the coding side (which makes going back to sw development jobs harder). Having a financial safety net definitely helped though.
