Make Sure You Are Capitalized 

“Make sure you are capitalized personally to be able to play the ball game. Because revenue sometimes is a bit of a challenging item, especially if you are building a tech platform. Something that requires many many man-years of time time to develop. You really have to have a personal financial situation to be able to do that, so don't just quit your job because of the lure and the fun of being at a start-up. Make sure you have the runway to do that because raising capital is not easy!”
