It's not for founders, but it is for VCs. A subtle but important distinction that also shapes the patterns we see in many other spaces.

Lots of people doing major projects are genuinely fine only getting $1M instead of $1B. Problem is, people who are willing to give $5M startup capital for a chance at $1M (instead of $1B) are much rarer.

Sounds like there’s an unmet market need here for a new kind of venture investor 🤔 just as there are builders ok with just $1m, there must be investors ok with smaller returns too - for cool enough projects of course
