Someone told me it was impossible to become an avogadrillionaire (to have a net worth of one mole, or approximately 6.02 x 10^23 dollars.) Now there's this founder I know whose startup grew 93% last month. Let's be conservative and say she has 2 million dollars. Let's calculate how many months of 93% growth it takes for something to grow 301,100,000,000,000,000x.
The log base 1.93 of 301,100,000,000,000,000 is 61.2091. That's about 5 years and 35 days. Is it really impossible to grow 93% month over month for 5 consecutive years? I can imagine some startups that can.
There are two numbers that determine whether you can make one avogadrillion dollars. One is your growth rate, which doesn't matter at all. The other is the size of the available market. Simply identify a market that has on the order of 10^20 times the demand that is currently being met. Understand what your users want. Ask ChatGPT for advice.
- free_bip 4mo agoYes, yes it is impossible. And I'm sure ChatGPT could easily tell you why.
- galenptacek 4mo agoI've been proven wrong. I will now delete my initial comment.
- tasuki 4mo agoThe person you're responding to didn't understand your original comment, I don't think they're capable of understanding this one either.
- pmxi 4mo agoPG acknowledged that growth is limited by market size. Markets to support "avogadrillionaire" level wealth may not current exist. However, there obviously exist markets to support billionaire level wealth, as evidenced by the at least 30 billionaires produced by YC, and the many others.
- hammock 4mo agoMarkets have growth rates the same way that products do.
- mpyne 4mo agoNo, because they are ultimately constrained by outputs that can be delivered or (assuming claims on future economic output into the market) the money supply that can be assigned to the future output. Even with leverage I couldn't ask my bank to loan me 6e23 USD without a lot more stuff having to happen first. There are markets that can grow fast of course, but once that exceeds the overall economy it can only come from forcing other markets to shrink, and that limits the growth rate to which the fast-growing market can ultimately attain.
- smnplk 4mo agoI think that avocado farms in Earth orbit have the avogadrillionare potential. Musk is on it. :P
- mcmcmc 4mo ago> Is it really impossible to grow 93% month over month for 5 consecutive years? I can imagine some startups that can. Sure, if they have a monopoly. Any market seeing that kind of growth will instantly have competitors and eventually the TAM runs out.
- moralestapia 4mo agoThis is a joke, right?
- theParadox42 4mo agoIf you start with $7.35464e-6 you’ll get to a trillion by the time you’re done!
- tudorconstantin 4mo agoIt’s actually easy and straight forward to become an avogadrillionaire, on paper that is, but still an avogadrillionaire: issue a token with a supply of 6.02*10^23, sell one token for $1, bam, avogadrillionaire

- askl 4mo agoCrazy that you're giving that advice away for free. You should be selling a course instead.
- Boxxed 4mo agoYes, it is impossible? If you owned everything on earth you still would not be an avogadrillion-aire.
- decimalenough 4mo agothatsthepoint.jpg
- 1970-01-01 4mo agoNot impossible, but you would need to geometrically explode the need for money (civilization) beforehand. In a few million years, (i.e. not impossible) the molleionaire will be the elite class of galactic citizen.
- xnx 4mo agoEasiest way to become an avogadrillionaire is to start with 2 avogadrillions.
