Startups don’t need to be profitable early—just valuable. Most fail, but VCs don’t need all of them to succeed—just a few outliers. Venture returns follow a power law: a tiny percentage of startups generate nearly all the returns. A typical VC fund invests in 50 companies—40 will fail, a few will break even, and 1-2 will be massive hits that return the entire fund. That’s why VCs chase high-risk, high-reward bets. They’re not looking for steady profits—they’re hunting for unicorns (or Indicorns). Also, VCs get paid regardless. They earn management fees (2% per year of the fund size) and take 20% of the profits (carry) from exits.
