"There are not 100 outlier founders and companies every year to bet on; there are a dozen." - Jeff Rosenthal, emphasizing the need for selective investments.
"You donât have infinite venture capital. You need to be very efficient on dollars you raise and focus on building a profitable product." - Abhijoy Mitra, on capital efficiency.
"As a venture investor, we think about that constantly... you probably need half a billion of revenue and maybe the profitability to actually go public." - Abhijoy Mitra.
