Wealthy folks that can afford to start a company for little/no pay are always imagining some kind of moral superiority. I told a startup boss who tried that out on me e.g. "I'm risking my house too!". I said "you mean your 2nd house. I'm risking my first house. And my family's stability." He had nothing to respond to that.

This is one of the chief reasons why startups have problems finding senior engineers.

The risk calculus is simply too different versus a younger person.
