While I do love the idea of building something new and useful, starting a new tech company these days isn't really about building, it's mostly about your ability to sell your story to investors, or your product if you can get that far. And I really really don't like doing sales. I've seen the fundraising process close up and it is most definitely not for me. Half (or more) of what people fundraising for their company say is BS, and I really hate BS.

So you “hate” the work that actually goes into building a successful company: pitching investors, doing sales, etc. Do you think that’s why you can’t imagine why other people would want to build companies except to make more money?
