		ashu on April 30, 2007 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Hacker's Guide to Investors The essay says "You should not start a startup which requires a lot of money". But some startups genuinely require much more money than webapps do. What should a person do in that case, other than being at the mercy of the investors?

I suspect there's a hidden upside to a startup that require a lot of money...it's going to be more difficult for competitors to get off the ground as well.

You just can't do it until you're old enough to either have a lot of money or you have enough connections to get a lot of money.
