I disagree.  Business is hard.  People are what matter.<p>I started a business in my garage with $5,000.  I had the right ideas, market and product.  I grew it to a pretty good size, employed lots of people and sold it.<p>Years later, I started another business with $325,000 of my own cash.  I still had the right ideas, market and product.  It failed miserably.  Why?  I didn&#x27;t know enough about the industry and lost focus.  I eventually restarted it (with more money) and got it going nicely.<p>Money couple with the right people, product and market AT THE RIGHT TIME can light things up in a major way.  Money by itself is useless.  And not, money does not shift the curve towards success.  That&#x27;s just not a sensible conclusion.<p>Money does nothing other than allow you to push on the accelerator once you have a formula that is ready for success.  This is how money should be used.  That&#x27;s why the mantra in tech circles is to test an MVP with a few thousand dollars (or less if possible).  Why?  Because if you throw money at something that has no engagement you&#x27;ll just burn it.  It doesn&#x27;t shift the curve toward success.  The curve already has to be shifted in that direction AND THEN you throw money at it.<p>That&#x27;s is precisely why so many people with easy access in capital fail.  They think exactly as you are proposing:  If we just throw money at XYZ we improve our probability to succeed.  And then they fail.
