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.

If you’ve ever wondered why VCs invest in risky startups instead of safe businesses, it’s because of something called the power law. And trust me, if you understand this, you’ll see why most VCs don’t care if 90% of their startups fail! Think about
