Peter Thiel on a common red flag he sees in startup pitches Peter Thiel highlights a common mistake founders make: listing multiple ways their startup can make money without a clear focus. He explains that when someone presents five potential revenue streams (A, B, C, D, and E), it’s often a red flag. It shows they haven’t carefully thought through their strategy. Thiel advises focusing on one clear path to success. Saying, “We’re going to make money doing A,” shows conviction and thorough planning. Listing many options might seem ambitious, but it usually signals a lack of clarity. The key takeaway? Simplicity and focus win. If you can’t confidently explain how your startup will succeed through one main approach, it’s time to refine your strategy. Don’t be lazy—think deeply about what will work, not just what could.
