Paul Graham on Twitter: "I changed the title. Those long, complicated titles are never good. I should have learned my lesson from "The Pooled-Risk Company Management Company"."

  Wouldn't "building makes billionaires" be a better title? A substantial # of billionaires (especially in Europe) didn't build anything.

  This essay answered a lot of questions I had about your earlier tweets. Loved this one.

  I've always regretted my title "Subtle Mid-Stage Startup Pitfalls". So boring, too.

  Does the investor-founder relationship ever become exploitative?

  Except for British tabloid titles. They read like a poem.

  What a great piece - thanks for writing it. My fav entrepreneur Elon Musk certainly is not driven by money; he wants to save/preserve mankind. But Tesla might have failed the YC interview since it was not clear back in 2008 that consumers would prefer to drive an EV over an ICE.

  I gotta say, I was hassling you about the interview length and this essay was really great. Gave me a different window in to the process and I really got a lot out of it.
