There is - it's possible to miss your window. This usually takes the form of a company that has figured out how to start scaling revenue, does not take advantage of the leverage, and then plateaus as a function of not having the capital necessary to expand. For the better half of these businesses, this ends up being ok. They settle into a slower growth model that produces a great cashflowing business. However there are others who are unable to get to profitability on remaining funds and die as a result of not having enough capital.
