Did you just take 200 words to say "Only wealthy individuals who don't need money can do this?"

Also in tech, its almost impossible to sell workers on the idea of a options-based windfall in favor of lower pay -- let alone the vague promise of 'success'.

You don't have to be wealthy (of course, that helps). Sometimes, people are willing to forsake money to start a non-profit.
