Forty years later, not much has changed for the next generation of young founders. While the AI boom is sending millions in venture funding to 20-something entrepreneurs, many still aren't buying furniture. Spartan living is common."
"The living room has two desks, his and his cofounder's. He doesn't use the desk much, since the office is within walking distance.
