In their words
if you're aiming at 10 million and you make 10 million you're probably not gonna have enough money to invest in other tech startups in Toronto
you can't just go out and ask people for money you need to do that before because you need to build all the connections you need to have everyone out there knowing that you're nobody yet but you're gonna be somebody soon
in Finland they don't say that they're gonna do that either they just do it but here people say they dream about doing it but they never end up doing it
