You’re making this (single startup) v. (single S&P company). That’s not how it works. Prove yourself at being an adept generalist and you’ll, over time, create access to the most ambitious people and companies.

By definition you can’t invest in bootstrapped “lifestyle companies” and they rarely have “outsized returns”. There are a lot of “ambitious people” who have failed that you never hear about.
