I think he is speaking of the opportunity cost. it is the conservative way to generate funds, but not the most efficient in the end.

It probably also depends on what you are trying to build. His initial example of building chips would probably be nearly impossible without a pretty big up front investment.
If you are building something with software, it is a lot more likely that you could self fund.
