If that’s what you’re looking for, you weren’t looking to run a start up anyway… You’re talking about prioritizing a different lifestyle.

  Whether the founders are looking for a big pay day or not, unless they are self funded “lifestyle company”, their investors are definitely looking for outsized gains in their portfolio.

    I think a lot of them want to be in charge and run their own business / venture with their ideas.

      That also doesn’t happen once they start taking outside investors…

        Depends.

          Outside investors aren’t looking for slow growth companies or those that may one day throw off a little money. If that were the case, they could just invest their money in the stock market and call it day. On that note: Warren Buffett made a 1 million dollar bet with some hedge fund managers that he could beat their returns just by putting money in an index fund over 10 years - he won the bet.
