same thing here except i would know what to do with 40M: use the software we're writing to launch the consumer-facing location-social google killer armed with AI! (buy servers and bandwidth etc)

isn't it strange? well, as a software devs we seem to have longer and harder path to breakeven.

but consumer startups seem need even more money to serve millions of customers, and the success chances seem a little higher than that of a lottery, as you should predict and check if the inconstant masses would like the app or not.

why we're not in a bubble then?
