Can you provide specific data points and examples for this 10 year hypothesis?
- treffer 4y agoThis is the normal runtime of venture funds. I am not sure if the last chapters of "The hard thing about hard things" or "Venture Deals" had more details. So you can expect Series A with fresh funds and money (10 years runtime left).
