Honestly who considers these their primary goals? Every company I've interviewed / interacted with has focus on real numbers or a sense of why something ties to underlying strategy. Most likely I'm suffering from selection bias, but honestly curious what companies run like this.
This must be directed at first time, earliest stage founders.
- tomhoward 11y agoProbably usually novice founders who think they too can pull off the launch -> go viral -> fundraise -> scale -> monetise/exit trick that rarely works but has worked for some of the biggest successes (eg YouTube). I fell for it. These days, most of the companies doing well enough to offer you a job are too smart for that. But I still hear of "well credentialed" founders who succeeded that way in the 90s or 2000s, trying to do it again and failing miserably - burning 8-figure sums of money in the process because to VC's they're "proven" - eg Color.
