Constraints Breed Ingenuity — Forward motion and ingenuity often open up new possibilities that can route around costs. This is why most breakthroughs happen in startups. If you could ensure a breakthrough by spending money, all the new inventions would only happen in big corporations. They don’t, because you can’t buy breakthroughs. Startups have no money to buy a solution, so they are forced to be ingenious, clever, thrifty and bold to invent one. They have no choice but to spend their imagination and creativity. That outside thinking generates the new ideas. It is often the financial constraints that make dreams come true.
The (Teddy) Roosevelt-ian, "Do what you can, where you are, with what you have," applies.
