industry weighted average fast casual revenue multiple: 0.8x

Proof a breakout winner is possible in every industry

When working with your first few prospects, we @Boldstartvc have always preached “enterprise design partners” vs customers. It’s important to understand “partners” goes both ways, founders need to walk away when partners aren’t behaving well, asking 4 world with limited giveback

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Startups are so brutal. While one founder is speaking at conferences and writing thinkpieces, a competitor might be closing all the customers by hand and cleaning up the space.

That first founder will only find out a year later when they find they are far behind on market share
