i wonder if there is a correlation between initial spending vs later success.

In some cases, i would be willing to bet that high initial spending lead to a greater turnout because you're able to leverage the money and convert it into increased traffic and sales.




That approach didn't really work out in the dotcom era. Of course, in some cases it would make greater turnout, but it is an expensive experiment.


i'm more looking for the break-even point. How long people supported their startups on their own dime, before the business finally took off, and started bringing in enough money to pay for itself.
