There was a good crowd at the TechFellows event tonight in San Francisco. I ran into a lot of people I don't see all that often. Among them were two entrepreneurs that have made a ton of money by selling their companies in the last couple of years. They're both working on a slew of new projects, and the way they're doing it is fascinating. What does a person do after becoming fabulously wealthy? Sometimes the type A pirate personality that got them to where they are just doesn't stop. They move on to a new challenge, and try for an even bigger win. They keep working, keep creating. Sometimes they just retire out of tech. Maybe do some angel investing. Or buy a basketball team. Or a formula 1 racing team. Occasionally they go into politics, which never ends well. Brute force of personality doesn't get stuff done in politics, these people usually fail at it.
