When confronted with an optimistic point of view on the economy, one entrepreneur had this to say:

One of the other silver linings is the insane amount of work that an entrepreneur can get done with very little money today. I have 6 unpaid interns …One is a PhD student …. and four are computer science majors that could have gotten great paying summer jobs 2 years ago. I also have a CFO that put together professional financial documents for us on deferred cash, and over $XXX,XXX in programming being done on deferred cash. None of that would have happened two years ago.

Entrepreneurs are finding a way to get their businesses off the ground without angels or VCs.
