I think that's true. I also think that the cliche of the venture-backed entrepreneur who goes for growth yet has no idea how the company will generate revenue is mostly false. Most of the smart entrepreneurs I know who are apparently pursuing that strategy actually know exactly how they're going to make money, they just don't say much about it up front.
