huge vibe difference between companies built to last 10 years and companies built to raise a seed round

Sometimes, you can’t imagine the end without going through the beginning tho

Most companies don’t start with a billion-dollar idea, but many stumble into one by accident. That kind of accident only happens by fafo'ing and that might mean doing whatever it takes to raise that first seed round

Something to that, for sure. But look at the flip side:

If you do find a valuable market and don’t raise or grow, someone else will. In business, there’s no such thing as staying still, if you’re not growing, you’re handing someone else an edge

longevity != high valuation

highly valuable companies get a lot of competition and it negatively impacts longevity
