Could be; but in my startup it was still "when we have money, we'll do X." It ended up being one of the big disagreements between me and my co-founder-- a lot of the compromises (on quality and process) that I was willing to make when we were bootstrapping were, in my mind, no longer serviceable once we took VC money. He still wanted to do everything quick and dirty, and incur all kinds of technical debt.

From where I sit, the message of the OP is still to the point-- do what you want to do, now. Don't live for the future.
