&gt; I don&#x27;t want to run a $10M company, I want to run a $10BN company. It&#x27;s the difference between tee ball and Major League.<p>Why stop at $10BN?  That doesn&#x27;t get you into the Global 500.<p>For that matter, if you want to &quot;run a $10BN&quot; company, what makes you think the best path to that is by doing a startup?  Of the Global 500 how many of the CEOs come from startup backgrounds?  None of the top 10.<p>If you really want to run a giant company, your best shot might be to work at a giant company for a really long time and  become the boss.
