VC industry doesn't work this way. - VCs are ok with 19 of their 20 investments going to 0. - VCs are ok with a startup not making any revenue for 5 years. What they look for is 1 investment, which if it works out, becomes a multi-billion dollar company. Venture investing is all about "really high-risk high-reward" investing. It is tough for a common person to comprehend this because we all are used to Salary, Real Estate, FD interest, Mutual Funds, Profitable businesses, etc. Barely does any of us understand how "really high-risk high-reward" investing works. Imagine if you have a $100M fund that you have to deploy in 20 companies. This corresponds to $5M per company. Now imagine 19 companies shutting down completely where $95M becomes 0. However, if just 1 company grows to a $10B valuation, it would be a mega exit for the fund, assuming they hold even 5% of it (post-dilution). $100M goes to $500M with a 95% failure rate. But this happens only when one of their bets gives disproportionately high returns. A Business generating Rs. 1 cr/annum cannot be that bet for a $100M fund. We all can debate whether this approach is right or wrong. But then the debate would be the same as FD vs Mutual Funds vs Real estate. Or Jobs vs Business. Basically, it would be a pointless debate. #startups #business #entrepreneurship
