Read up on the concept of a "luck surface area". You can start building it now no matter where you are.

If you're the type of person who say, "I will just quit" you might not be the type of person that a VC wants to fund.

I've heard it said (might have been from a Stanford ETL talk) that you should do a startup because when you wake up in the morning you absolutely can't do anything else. If I was a VC I would want to fund people with that level passion.

Access to capital or a VC is just a roadblock. Detour around it or take another road.

Well, i don't believe in "types of people". The Homejoy founder said she would have to quit if didnt get the money at that time. She would be of a different type then?

I think you're nitpicking to avoid addressing my point.

s/you're the type of person who/you would say/
