Why "million dollar"? Sure being financially secure is great, but are people working in the industry now really just in it for the money?

I guess we know the answer with VC founders, but are technical people really not interested in making cool things that let them live a comfortable life?

I wanted to be first to market on a big data cluster with heavy emphasis on built in/plug and play ML for other startups and small businesses. Not the kind of thing you can have a go at from Dad's garage.

I've always felt there was more niche money in marketplaces.
