I don't think it worked this way for Levchin, either.
It's obvious that they were so excited about what they were making at PayPal. The PalmPilot thing? All that encryption stuff they did early on? They were just in love with what they were making, and it worked out very well for them.
On the other hand, Slide, a basically dispassionate attempt to build a company he thought would be successful, while still a success, didn't work out quite as well.
