There&#x27;s a lot of business advice that makes sense if you are a VC fund seeking to beat the market and that must &quot;only invest in things able to return the entire fund&quot; but that does <i>not</i> make sense if you just want to build a reasonable business. Hell, some of that advice doesn&#x27;t even make sense if your goal is to build a very successful startup with a good but not quite &quot;sure I&#x27;ll take another airstrip on my island&quot; exit.<p>Sometimes the domain specificity of advice is not immediately obvious from its context.
