I can't quite tell if you're being snarky/obtuse, but I'll assume you're not. I believe he means that if you need to make a profit to survive, it'll inhibit growth, impact, and market share. Example: Say Amazon was bootstrapped. They couldn't have run profit-free for years like they did. The result of bootstrapping Amazon? Higher prices. Slow hiring. No marketing. Little-to-no cash for R&D. Maybe company-death because they couldn't afford to wait for the market to catch up with their vision. Or maybe a faster-moving competitor now has room to move in and take the leadership role. Do you think Amazon made the wrong choice to raise money, assuming Bezos' wish was a combination of impact-on-the-world and wealth?
