Though the pizza shop owner isn't that unique or in large scale to help a lot of people, so the impact is far more limited. Who cares whether someone can semantically be called "entrepreneur", etc. If they didn't do their pizza shop, no one would notice, but if we didn't have high growth startups, I think we'd feel that impact far far more. This is not to imply that high growth = high impact, because there's of course a ton of rent-seeking bullshit out there to be condemned.

I completely fail to notice most "high-growth" startups. I do like my neighborhood pizza joints and ethnic food stores. But hey, maybe that's because I share Peter Thiel's taste in startups.
