"This is what a power law looks like!"

Exactly. That is why, now, if a VC looks at your company they think: "Will this company be worth more than all the companies we have ever funded combined". So if the idea isn't something close to that power law, they are out. My 'buy Japanese bubble gum' idea might not hit that.



No., they invest on the merit of the idea and any Venture Capitalist's funding is validation of the idea in and of itself!
