"Used the believe this not anymore though. Yes building anything is hard but the bigger you go the more sacrifice must be made. Sure its sexy to think that a founder will sacrifice everything to build sometime great. But 90% of their company Lowering standards on who they work with Their marriage Their relationship with kids Maybe its an extreme thought but I think this type of quote is often thrown around by the VC industry to convince founders to go big. Founders would be fine if they didnt but VCs wouldnt be. All part of the machine. Just my opinion"
