based on growth rate alone you both would have missed job's return to apple! under job's leadership apple didn't grow for yeaaaaars until they did ;)
This is why my first question on meeting a startup is usually "what is your growth rate?" Everything else follows from that.

I don’t think either one of them meant to say that growth rate is the only factor to consider.

Disagree. Ours is typically positive, over 18 years, but relatively low & very lumpy. Everyone dismissed (dismisses) us, but we’ve built incredible value. Growth rate isn’t everything.

Another way to state this is that time matters when dealing with compounding. Given sufficient time, huge returns are possible with relativity low growth rates.

I think the most interesting bets are on pre-traction companies. Seeing the opportunity before it’s obvious. What are the odds that a company with a strong growth curve (not fueled by ad dollars) will fail? What are the odds a company with a strong growth curve can’t raise $$$?

but without the first spark you can't light the fire. asking for fire level rates without a lighter, you can’t ignite combustion even if is extremely flammable
