“VC is dead. PE is dead.”
Not really.
Every business still goes through 3 stages: Creation → Growth → Sustenance.
Each has a distinct risk-return profile.
Names may change. Models evolve.
But the logic of capital & risk hasn’t changed in 3,000 years — and won’t.

🚀 The Myth
D2C = low risk, quick returns, small capital.
Deep Tech = high risk, long time, big money.
Truth: Building any billion-$ business takes TIME, MONEY & EFFORT.
Zomato → 13 yrs to IPO, 16 yrs to profit.
Zepto → $1.8B for 7min delivery.
Rockets are cheaper, though
Hi everyone
I'm getting more active on X because, apparently, that's the thing in the Bay Area.
Let me know what you would like me to talk about here.
Anything about and around deep tech, shoot it up.
Sometimes you don’t raise money and your startup dies
Sometimes you raise too much money and your startup dies
It’s just one more way to die. There are 1001 ways.
It’s not the most important question.
The most important question is: did you make something people want?
Fun Fact:
Figma has $1.54B of cash on hand currently but raised only $749M in primary capital in its history.
It will go public with a negative (!) net burn over its lifetime of $791M, thanks to their efficiency and the $1B breakup fee received from Adobe.
