"The public seems to misunderstand what Venture Capital is. Early in my career I used to call it the Great Ponzi Theory of Tech until I realized all of tech highest on Reflexivity or the concept that: At the earliest stage VCs substitute market belief with cash. This allows founders to hire talent & reach milestones unlocking more capital to repeat the cycle until the co goes from fake to real overnight. The only cos that matter are ones that can do $1b+ ARR in 7-10 yrs. Anything less is useless. Based on my track record I expect [--] in [--] companies I invest in from the fund to be worth $1b+."
