I did read the article. I find it incredible how it pays absolutely no attention to the fact that he became a millionaire through RedSwoosh and how this allowed him to invest in your startup and &quot;show up at your office one or two days a week&quot; if he felt like it.<p>My issue isn&#x27;t with him specifically, more the sense of entitlement of the industry and the press.<p>&gt; Kalanick came away from the experience with a profound sense of relief and also a bit of a problem with authority<p>...and a huge amount of money. For most people in the developed world, buying a home and having enough money left over to even <i>think</i> about angel investing (or other expensive pastimes) at a young age is an absolute dream.<p>Many people see personal wealth as a pre-requisite for being able to found a startup. A little more focus on this side of a founder&#x27;s story would be welcome.
