Have some personal wealth to spend on wages for a few more months instead of "sadly letting people go". Because you are not sad, not on a runway and what you are riding was definitely not a plane.
"Just have more money"? I mean, if we're going with magic, why not "have more customers" or "have SoftBank deposit millions of dollars into your bank account"?
those are all good ideas. And more realistic than most startup demands. My point is, put your hand under the rock instead of pissing off. Clear enough now?
Since saving up before putting people in danger is "magic", and incompetence in creating a business is like "failing to take off", I'm surprised words mean anything at all.
