> Well that was a very arrogantly-worded post. Maybe you didn't mean it to be, but that's certainly how it comes off.

Possibly its a bit strongly worded because he's responding to someone who names start up founders as "punk kids" with "nothing to lose", then declares that he's not doing a startup because he's found things that are more important.

Oh, and money.

Or course I'd much rather receive my $2MM+ over the course of a couple years building a company rather than over 40 years of letting a boss or HR decide my pay.

And you bet when I'm done I'll be investing in even more start-ups. I love helping people with dreams in the tech industry.

and that he would take the money and run. lol. who does that?

I want startup life because I want to own my own company from the ground up.

I would love to set my own hours at a normal company. But how rare is that? Where do you work that you can do that?
