Not every entrepreneur's story is a bootstrapped fairytale. Recently, a HackerNews user going by "themanthatfell" made this lament in a post called "Started a stupid company. Failed.":
Ran out of money. Ran out of credit. Losing house in two months (already foreclosed). Wife pregnant. Three kids all under 6. Pretty sure I am the opposite of everyone here. I am no man. Just a statistic. Everything is gone. Selling spare parts to keep the lights on. It was a nice fantasy. To the rest of you: fight hard and good luck.
