I came here also hating the article title and thinking "most people or small businesses don't build a billion dollar company FWIW" but it's well written and worth a read.

The title is kind of meant to provoke that reaction (at least in my case, can't speak for the one I'm responding to.)

The point is really that taking VC money requires you to try for a billion dollar company. Founders should think hard before they commit to that path.
