Funding is not everything, kids.
Reason why traditional business models work is b/c they're tried and tested.
Don't bank your lives on bets that "might work out" which'll benefit someone else the most.
Strong fundamentals always win.
Balance is not always 50:50.
It sometimes 30:70
Maybe 60:40
Even 20:80
Or 34.73:65.27
It's more about doing the most important things more efficiently (even sometimes that one thing only) rather than doing everything equally.
