Everybody wants to be Michael Jordan. We look at Google and eBay, and a handful of vastly profitable billion-dollar businesses and people think that the road to that goes through the VCs. If they want their shot at being the Google, they have to go that path and that is really appealing.
They forget that the odds of that happening are vanishingly small. They forget the fact that they could just aim to be a million dollar business and they’ll probably be a lot better off. They’ll probably have a lot higher odds of success, but it’s just not as sexy.
