I think the pressure to grow to unicorn sizes inherrent in VC things could often result in weird business choices. Yes. It's important to remember the VC is motivated by the final selling price, and big companies sell more -- but that's totally not failure. Maybe not to you, but it would be to the VC. This is a fantastic reason to possibly, just maybe set your startup sights somewhere other than landing funding. Do you want to be beholden to someone who is—ultimately—trying to flip you for a 9 or 10 figure win, or do you want autonomy and the opportunity to pursue a 'modest' success?
