Some Startup Investment Best Practices - or why Investors need to think 45x Big 💡📈 Investing in Startups is high-risk, but to make it worthwhile, investors need to target returns 45 times their initial investment on every single investment. Imagine investing $10,000 across 25 Startups. After 10 years, let's assume only 2 succeed, while others break even or fail. For a viable portfolio return (>15% annually), those two successful Startups must generate $18,250 each—45x the initial investment. This massive multiplier stems from the unpredictability of which Startups will thrive, making "thinking big" and "power law" dynamics essential for investors. 🚀 Check out the article in the comments for more details! #StartupInvestment #PortfolioStrategy #HighRiskHighReward
