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.
- duxup 2y agoI think a lot of them want to be in charge and run their own business / venture with their ideas.

- duxup 2y agoDepends.
- scarface_74 2y agoOutside 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.
