The startup is a magical place. It’s a place where expenses are someone else’s problem. It’s a place where that pesky thing called revenue is never an issue. It’s a place where you can spend other people’s money until you figure out a way to male your own. It’s a place where the laws of business physics don’t appy.
The problem with this magical place is it’s a fairy tale.
