Ok, so I wasn't clear. I'm not talking about bare-bones. I am talking about 'luxuries' as a means to get developers. I'm also talking about market rate salary and benefits since to get experienced devs, the types that might have families, mortgages to pay.

I'm not talking about 3 guys sleeping rough in a studio, coding to all hours.

I realize many/most startups don't start with the needs I am describing.

Also, I'm also just looking for a completely rough-guess answer.

If you think it's $1 million then fine, if you think it's $500 million or 2 shekels, great too. Just add a little insight into your quote and it would be appreciated.
