My question is; how many people of the people working on startups are of the type that will "change the world", vs. simply build useful and scalable products (e.g. enterprise software or indie games)?
I'm curious as to how those individuals working on a startup full-time are able to support themselves without receiving any compensation. Are you simply a student going to school and this is a non-issue? Or are you working form some sort of financial cushion you saved up from your previous job? More bluntly, how do you pay for rent and food?
Free rent (thanks sis!) and a small savings since I was laid off. I keep a vestigial social life and cook at home. This has been since January.
Thats plain crazy, wont believe if i tell you that , i have a sis, and have got small savings, was laid off sometime back, and i keep a vestigial social life..

There seem to be 4 routes: 1 have rich parents (not kidding) 2 work part time until you can get angel investment 3 a pre-angel incubator ala YC 4 live somewhere really cheap and use savings In the two startups I've worked for, I personally saw routes 1 and 3.

im *not hating this...was a mistake
I'm currently trying to get an indy games company off the ground but I can't take the risk of going full time at the moment. Work 8 hours as a programmer during the day then do about 5 hours at night on my game. Been going for about 5 months now, probly another 4 to go.
Also, 5 hours? How do you do that? I have way less than 5 hours if I subtract (sleep, groceries, cooking, housekeeping, work and commute) from 24 hours.
