It won't look good on the CV at the next interview (ahh, so you drove the company into the ground? - No, it wasn't me, it was the owner, I swear!)
Sep 7, 2019 at 7:26 comment added SZCZERZO KŁY @Val You just define "success" differently. For many goal of the startup is to attract investors, generate costs and so on.
Sep 6, 2019 at 22:23 comment added slebetman @Val Not necessarily fail just to not generate profits. Company owners can make a lot of money this way if they are paid more as employees/directors. Waiting for your share to generate profit is often much harder than giving yourself a salary (and in some cases the salary will eclipse your original investment within a year). Another incentive is that in most countries personal income tax is much lower than corporate taxes
