Many workers sit at their desks, dreaming of storming out of the office and risking it all to follow a dream. Not many do it.
But Michael Dunworth dropped his comfy Sydney-based finance job aged 27 to move over to San Francisco and bet on his success with a Silicon Valley startup, booking a bed in one of San Francisco’s famous “hacker houses”.
“You’re literally sleeping in bunk beds, with some dude who is interviewing with Facebook tomorrow, then another guy across from you who just started at LinkedIn while below you is someone raising $2 million for their startup,” Dunworth told Business Insider.
“The first person I met when I walked in, and he was like ‘I got to run, I got a meeting with some investors, we’re raising $2.5 million’.”
“It’s the ground zero of where awesome shit is happening.”
