Well yes. But the premise here was that in order to generate that revenue you need the employee. If you don't need the employee then by all means don't hire the employee (and don't raise money to hire them).

My view is that business owners hire too early. Nothing kills a business faster than hiring people.
Huge applause.
"You need to raise more money"
Crowd falls silent.
How about trying to sell something and generate revenue. I long ago stopped subscribing to Startup Porn but I remain baffled as to how seemingly smart people are so intoxicated by it that the notion of building an actual business is an afterthought.
