@gabrielesvelto@mas.to Put another way, when I worked at a VC, our modelling indicated that it'd be near optimal for a startup to almost run out of cash every 12-18 months, as long as you had reasons to be confident your valuation was going in the right direction - short cycles of nearly running out of cash correlated with higher returns.
Of course, it also correlates with risk, so it's not that none of these companies will fail - odds are many will.

@vidar@m.galaxybound.com oh yeah, it makes sense for startups. But these are Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Oracle.
