I certainly didn&#x27;t mean to belittle plumbers, or so-called &quot;lifestyle businesses&quot;. Just to point out that the &quot;1 in ten people is an entrepreneur&quot;-type business-founding statistics are filled with people that are less playing VC-roulette and more hoping&#x2F;expecting they can make more money as a contractor than an employee (I even had the &quot;maybe you should form a limited company for your work on this project&quot; conversation myself this morning). The tech startup bubble, on the other hand, is filled with people that will quite seriously advance the argument that bringing in actual revenue is something that should be postponed until a much later stage even if possible from day one. You tend to need a certain amount of privilege to think like that.<p>SV survivor-bias success stories are also littered with companies which might well have been allowed to fail if it came down to putting the founders&#x27; houses on the line...
