True startup types rarely run more than one company at a time. Jack Dorsey is a rare exception.
True PE turnaround types rarely fewer than 3-4 companies (via holding companies with some shared executives and strong investor control)

I think there’s an interesting 2x2 here. Investor control vs founder control, serial vs parallel entrepreneurship.
Parallel+investor control = PE
Serial+founder control = fat startups
Serial+investor control = lean startups
Parallel+founder control = Dorsey ops
