I am not so sure. The VC's want you to either have a billion dollar exit, or fail quickly. Most owners would be pretty happy with a multi-million dollar a year sustainable business.
- marcinzm 7y agoThe ones I knew would definitely prefer a $100 million exit where they made $20 million to a lifestyle business.
- bigiain 7y agoWhere "lifestyle business" is pretty much VC industry pejorative/derogatory jargon for "long term economically sustainable and ethical company" - as though any of that is a bad thing.
