That line of thinking is actually really valuable, here's some insights: (1) The company has either a sales issue or a pitch issue, if reasonable sales targets can't attract investors. (2) Investors aren't adequately informed on the space and may not be a good fit for the company, if they're only interested in the company if it scales faster. (3) Alternatively, if investors are short-term greedy, they may be informed on the space but not see a long-term viable path (in which case, silly of them to be investors, but also, analyze why they're long-term bearish). (4) What other measures could be indicative of success and worth showing to investors, instead of unreasonably high sales projections?
