I am the OP, and I'm not rich.

BuzzData is designed to be useful and profitable in equal quantities. It must succeed at making money in order to continue being useful to people.

If we work hard and stay focused on making something that people would be upset to lose, then I will become wealthy as a side-effect.

I plan to use my wealth to become an angel investor, which is something I can't do unless I change my current fiscal status.

"I plan to use my wealth to become an angel investor..." There's an old saying about counting your chickens before they're hatched.

I certainly don't plan to fail, if that's what you mean. :)
