> I don't want to run a $10M company, I want to run a $10BN company. It's the difference between tee ball and Major League.
Why stop at $10BN? That doesn't get you into the Global 500.
For that matter, if you want to "run a $10BN" company, what makes you think the best path to that is by doing a startup? Of the Global 500 how many of the CEOs come from startup backgrounds? None of the top 10.
If you really want to run a giant company, your best shot might be to work at a giant company for a really long time and become the boss.
Yea I mean I chose 10B as a magnitude of 10MM ... but 500B+ would be even better. To your second question though it's not about doing it as a "startup" it's about creating the business that I want on my terms.
