“I want a really good shot of building a great company is the answer to most and and that's actually the wrong answer for like 99.999% of investors out there”

Most founders want high odds of a great outcome, not low odds of a giant one

The VC model optimizes for moonshots that pay for many failures, which directly conflicts with how most founders actually want to build. When choosing investors, screen for ones whose math works on $10M-$100M outcomes, not unicorns. Decline capital structures that force you to take risk you wouldn't choose on your own.
