He said:

> "Is it possible to build a startup on the side?” The answer is clearly YES. If you ask, is it possible for swans to be black, you just need one black swan to answer affirmative. And there are tons of built-on-the-side startup swans. The same with “is it possible to grow a startup on a sane 40h workweek”, the answer is again overwhelmingly YES. That’s completely irrefutably true by lots of examples. The only question is do I want to bootstrap as a side business? Do I want to have healthy work habits?"
