- jerf 16y agoTrue, certainly, but you can't expect people to invest and wait until the business is "mature" to collect anything in general. A business may take 10 years to mature or more, and it doesn't take much of a discount rate on your money 10 years from now to make the investment very unattractive under any realistic risk model.
