VC Charles Hudson on ‘the conversation no one has during an upmarket’
These conversations are always the wrong way round.  Being excited about running a company is not enough - affording to do so matters.  Restricting founderdom to the already wealthy or the maniacally driven seems a dumb idea.<p>My conjecture is that more successful companies are founded during downturns because more founders are forced into the process by circumstance.<p>If we want to increase the successful startups in the world, increase the number of people who can afford to do so.  We are seeing paycheck protection programs across the globe - why not use some of the same cash as giant seed funds.
