I often advise founders this strategy:

- Sell for like say $8 billion
- Take a little money off table, rest a bit
- Then, spin-out into $20 billion IPO

IT'S SMART

$10m ARR
100%+ Growth
120%+ Net Revenue Retention

You Become Unstoppable.

Make it So.

My top investment so far, the #1 competitor was only worth $300m at the time of investment. It is now worth 10x that.

My top up-and-comer only had a TAM of $90m at time of investment. 2 years later, that TAM is $900m.

You gotta look down the road a bit sometimes.

In the end, if you are a founder or startup person, you’ll look back, and there will be 1-3 amazing journeys you had in your career.

That’s what will matter.

And maybe really, all that matters, is who you went on the amazing journeys together with, and what you did together.
