"If you’re a good company, you’re either going to raise your Series A - or Series B - in the next 12 months or have significant revenue such that you won’t need more capital. If you’re doing badly, why would you want to keep working on this for 24 or 36 months? That’s a waste of your time."

This black and white view of "good" and "bad" companies is so insulting. Same with "good" and "bad" founders as referenced in this article and even by PG elsewhere. How patronizing! I personally know "bad" founders who were running "bad" companies because they loved and believed in their business, and only 3, 5, or even 10 years into it found the right opportunity and had life-changing outcomes.
