raising the round is them selling part of the company. enough of the company that they no longer ever have to worry about money again. yeah that removes a lot of potential stress. the company can fail now and it won't ruin him. gives him more freedom to keep building.
“more freedom to keep building”
This is the disconnect to me. This phrase has tech industry cult vibes to me.
I don’t see “freedom” and “building” as words that mesh together.
I see “building” as something I’m obligated to do to pay my bills. I do it because it’s preferable to other forms of labor. As soon as I have the financial means to stop doing it, I’m out.
