They had millions investments in that company and the almost broke seems to be a 'nice story telling'; 'we were almost broke and then ...' appears often on HN; seems people like this all-or-nothing attitude. To me, as a person who wants to pay his employees and who does not want the trouble of being broke, it means you are not watching, or you don't have a bottom line. What's great about that? I don't understand that attitude of burning millions on the off chance you'll make billions.
