		<description>@ Engago.  Why would anyone start a business if they wanted a &quot;normal life&quot;?   Yeah, we all agree that Jay&#039;s comment is silly, but if getting rich isn&#039;t at least a part of your business plan, you&#039;re in the wrong industry.  This article is about startups, meaning balls to the wall, high growth potential, liquidity or die.  Not about a family-based small business.  Nothing wrong with those, lemonade stands pay the bills but who cares other than you and your family?  The top tier entrepreneurs (that have most helped improve the quality of life you enjoy) have all created more jobs than just a handful for themselves and their assistants.  And if I had to guess, M&amp;A&#039;s probably lead to more founders sitting on a beach than IPOs.  That beach thing fucks up your share price.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a lot to be said about an old maxim that states only companies with fairly weak business models need IPOs. Other can self-fund and raise money via far less costly means plus retain control of their equity and destiny.</description>
