I think that growth, as a metric for gauging success will soon fall out of favor. Soon stodgy old concepts like "revenue" and "profit" will begin to take hold

The assumption that eyeballs will eventually equal dollars has been proven false again and again. Eventually Angel Investors and VC's will have to return to the same types of fundamentals that banks have been following all along (the recent financial...hiccup...aside).
- rmah 14y agoIt's dangerous because it limits your options. Say you take money from an angel that is strongly associated with a single VC fund. Assuming you do well, when you need to raise your series A, if that VC fund declines, then it's less likely another VC will fund you. And they know this. Essentially, you have given them a lot of power over your future financing.
