"If you haven’t experienced waking up one day with millions in a bank account and a dozen or so people looking at you in the eye, nodding their heads and telling you that they believe in you, you have never experienced the perfect storm of excitement and fear."

Sounds like the author has totally misplaces what should cause an excitement or worth pursuing as a goal. It's not having someone looking you in the eye (who this person is?). And not even a million dollars in the bank (is one million a lot of money?). It's what you did to make it, and what you make after with it.

I think he might be referring to to point just after having raised money and so just before spending it all on some risky venture rather than after having earned the money.
