This is terrible, simplistic advice. The supposed "get rich" acquisition industries both involve so much fundraising that by acquisition time, the founder is likely to be buried under such a large liquidation preference that he won't see a cent. Total funding should never be an indicator "getting rich" -- it either correlates with failure or a capital intensive project, neither of which have anything to do with improving the founder's net worth.
