why does one need to take on ASML? I had to look it up, semiconductors.
ASML market cap is ~500B.
Meta market cap is ~1.5T.
i'm no facebook fan but it was started by a dude in a dorm room.
So I think saying "well those times are gone now" is defeatist.
(fwiw i personally have no interest in building a trillion dollar company from my basement, just talking philosophy here)
- dminik 7mo agoIf we're going to be like that, we should go for Nvidia. Their market cap is currently ~4T. I can see that going very well.
- apsurd 7mo agoI'm genuinely asking why are we goaling on overtaking the most valuable companies in human history? Startup advice, as i understand it, is about innovation: expanding the pie. I sound like a VC shill. Don't mean to be, i know it's riddled with rich people passing money around pretending like value is being created. It's just I don't get what's so wrong with the HN crowd here trying to be better at building a successful company?
