if you can take $1million from someone and convert it to $5 in a few years that should be a great outcome but it doesn’t seem like anyone invests that way I guess it is just the risk profile thing, only x% work so the ones that do need to be huge

Other side of the coin is many great businesses could stay at $5m/yr and be great outcome for a small team, but venture pressure leads to trying to force growth to the next scale and kills the company A 5m/yr business run with a couple of your close friends feels like the dream honestly, no need to hyperscale everything
