The other problem, being >25 years old, is that no one believes that you'll work 16 hour days every day for months while living on ramen (or soylent?) until you're at the position where you can take a few million in funding (and then repeat until exit).
So what I get, is that I work sixteen hour days every day for years while dining at soup kitchens because I have no pay at all, while I'm building my own business.
When I get my business actually making money, I'm going to hire a bunch of homeless people. I really am.
