Eric Simons had run out of seed funding, but happened to have been incubated in a building with lax security, so he lived there for two months, taking advantage of the couches, gym, showers, free food and office space:
This was his routine: He'd work until midnight or later, and then fall asleep around 2 a.m. on one of the couches. At 7 a.m. -- and no later than 8 a.m. so he'd be safely out of his field bed before anyone else arrived -- he'd wake up, go down to the gym for a workout and a shower, and then go back upstairs and scarf a breakfast of cereal and water or Coke. Then he'd work all day, finally waiting until everyone else in the building had gone home before returning to one of his three favored couches.
In some circles that would be known as desperate. But in entrepreneurial circles, this is simply known as remarkably resourceful. Even more resourceful is the fact that he leveraged this adventure into press coverage that will (hopefully) help his startup.
