The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: From Potato Farm to $200M in Revenue: The Never-Before-Told Story of Flo Health: Scaling to $1BN Valuation, 75M Users & Getting 100s of No's From Investors Along the Way with Dmitry Gurski

You may understand crisis, you may understand that rate was 2% higher or 2% lower, but it's not like a reason why company would cost like five or six times higher or lower. It means that it's just a reflection that markets are very irrational and price is irrational as well.

But that's kind of it. We will have them because this business model is growing. And you may just check numbers of Apple, and you may see that Apple got from consumer subscription in 2017 $5 billion. And it's projected that we'll get maybe $100 billion or so next year. The model is growing. And because the model is growing, then we'll have huge companies.

Yeah, like a small investor, but he invested early. He joked recently that the single role of an investor is that he outrages the entrepreneur, and then the entrepreneur has the full energy to prove to the investor that he's wrong. Of course, it's a joke, but it's partly true. But I would say that a good investor may create a ton of value by proper work in the board.
