What bold move are they taking if they are using other people’s money?

The bold move of starting a company, obviously, rather than working for someone else, like most regular people usually do.

It's not like the money's a gift... you have various metrics presumably that you have to hit once you raise money, especially once you're past the angel/seed stages.

It’s not a gift, but if they fail, they have lost nothing but time - if they are paying themselves a salary.
Until you become a founder yourself and know how hard it has been might change your mind. Otherwise we're all just employees. One big difference is that founders take bold moves and risks. I also consider this is capitalism at work.
