Yeah, so true. Consider me one of them. Occassions like this, Shiply, often strike me as young, aspiring scientist using other peoples money to figure out the a wheel should be round.

Being a little bit more active in my local start-up scene now also means following stat-ups in general. And a lot of these companies, including one I used to work for for a short period, seem to ignore lessons other learned, the hard way. If these lessons are concerning your USP, ignore them, because it is where you inovate. regardless, you should have understood these lessons before ignoring them.

Ignoring these lessons in any other part of your company is just stupid. Like not managing your cash flow.
