I feel fundamentally, we are in a time where, every business is a unicorn and needs hyper growth. It's like grow at all cost, you can do it if you throw enough money at it. While it may be feasible for some businesses, most require strong fundamentals to survive for long.
- dialamac 6y agoIs it really? Or is this just availability bias. You choose to hang out on HN and read whatever e-rags cover startups. Meanwhile there’s probably a new plumbing proprietorship or small software consultancy starting nearly everyday in your town. They don’t get or need much press. For every ample hills there are how many BR franchises? Not many hipsters go to BR though.
- darth_avocado 6y agoYes you are absolutely correct. And to be fair, for context, I was talking about businesses that usually get high profile fundings (and therefore coverage). This obviously even the big names that are already billions of dollars.
