I think the assumption is that "longer term" is "within your runway" for some set of startups. Early stage startups can have years of runway. If you're a startup that's recently closed an amount that will carry you through this period I think you're probably in the ideal position. There is an open and obvious question as to how long that may be, but if you have multiple years of runway it feels safe.
