Paul Adams explains the key differences between a loss tolerance mindset vs. a risk tolerance mindset.

This may be because tech executives work for well-established firms like Microsoft and then move to tech startups who do not have a strong financial program available to them. Combine this with busy executives’ time constraints and it often leads to an uninformed financial strategy that won’t do much good in the future.
