I live in Chicago and I can tell you for a fact that what he describes really is the The Midwest Approach (though I like to call it the Chicago Style because I love this city way too much). We say "show me the money" before all else. We don't get users first and monetize later. We monetize first and stay in business forever.

However, the expectation of discipline to grow a robust business is an attractive trait of many of the same investors. More base hits than home runs can be a better investment strategy.
