My naive assumption would be that everybody would *try* to do this, but many would be unable to do so.

But as I said, "naive"; I'm outside the funded-startup bubble. It just reads to me as "I've decided I want this company to succeed".

angel today: "I'm happy with growth! They are growing fast and really don't need the money. But maybe it can go faster!"
-
default dead can come for the notion or belief that previous growth rate will continue if it can be funded
-
success (high growth) can also lead to a disconnection between how fast the valuation grows not accompanying revenue
-
the fastest and more you raise, the less margin of leverage a startup leaves to their revenue growth. They will catch up
-
cash on bank and revenue have -most of the times- inverse leverages and incentives. Hard to sink
