The reason money motivated people make for bad venture backed founders is precisely because they have not actually internalized this truth about the nature of venture. Failure does not mean walking with nothing, it means taking the $30,$50 or $100MM personal liquid stake you have in hand and betting double or nothing on it over and over to have a slim chance at it becoming $10bn. It’s a bet no person who’s in it to be rich would take. It’s only those who are in it for status, glory and power.
