๐ฅ A VC turned $6.4m into $1.3b in 5 yrs โ thereโs a lesson here for founders๐ฅ Cyberstarts just turned a $6.4M seed investment in Wiz into $1.3 BILLION after Googleโs $32B acquisitionโa mind-blowing 222x return in just 5 years! ๐๐ฅ This is why VCs chase unicorns. Most investments either fail or barely return capital. But one breakout success, like Wiz, can return the entire fund and some more. ๐ How VCs Play the Power Law Game โก Hunt for market-dominating startups โก Prioritise exponential growth over steady returns โก Accept high failure rates to capture the 100x-1000x outliers Thereโs A Lesson Here for Founders: Go Big or Go Home! If youโre building a VC-backed company, don't optimise for early profitabilityโoptimise for scale and dominance. Profitability should be a by-product of capturing a massive market. So before raising VC, ask yourself: ๐ก Can this idea realistically become a billion-dollar business? ๐ก Can I grow fast enough to justify VC economics? ๐ก Am I ready to take big swings and play for exponential outcomes? VC funding is a powerful toolโbut itโs not for every startup idea. Are you thinking about Power Law dynamics before deciding to raise venture capital? ๐ ----------------------------------- https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity/alphabets-32-billion-wiz-deal-promises-windfall-vc-backers-2025-03-18
