Those are what I meant when I mentioned founders' savings, and I agree that they are risky:

> there are some startups funded by the founders' own savings or mortgages, which is a big risk

EDIT: Sorry, I now realize you meant startups that grow from their own income (or am I still misunderstanding?). Those don't seem very risky to me, since there's not much high gains/high losses potential to them.
