The funding story sounds impressive. The rest schedule needs a second opinion. For founders who can recognize the theatrical exhaustion that sometimes gets packaged as startup commitment.
Clean front. Loud back. A small REGEX wordmark sits on the chest, with the main line across the back. One ink per garment. Comes in Black with white ink or White with black ink.
The joke, explained
The line exaggerates startup culture's habit of treating long hours as proof of dedication. Linking sleep to funding makes that attitude deliberately absurd, as if investment changed a basic human need. Its humor is a dry take on founder bravado, not a factual claim about rest or success.
For the founder whose bravado is louder than the alarm clock.

Questions
Does funding actually change anyone's need for sleep?
No. The line is an exaggerated startup boast that makes the funding connection deliberately unreasonable. Its joke depends on recognizing how far founder bravado can stretch an ordinary claim.
Is this a knowing gift for a tired co-founder?
It suits someone who can laugh at startup exhaustion and the language around it. The intended reading is self-aware humor about the culture, not a recommendation to give up rest.
