What do you think about startups and the amount of money that they need?

Recently I've read an interesting article about startups and the quantity of money that I need to spend on them to become successful. Could you please give me your opinion about this article http://ift.tt/1LguLvA

Thank you in advance.

P.S. What amount of money are you ready to invest in startup and if you're ready to invest in which field this startup should be?
