I think the financial pressure of bootstrapping is such a powerful motivator that I dunno if giving an unproven entrepreneur 600k is such a good idea.

So to break even, she will have to make 10 mil$, not doing the math on opportunity cost, taxes, etc. Sounds dubious.

an entrepreneur making 10mil lifetime? a reasonably bright kid could prob make half just by climbing the corporate ladder.
