That's just not how VCs work. Basically it's you HAVE to always show hockey stick growth.

Steady 5-10% per year isn't good enough. It has to grow exponentially. So that's why you keep hiring and keep spreading out the service into a whole bunch of other areas.

I’m just going to point out that growing 10% per year is actually exponential growth
Which is why every founder should always promise 11% growth. Because most companies only grow at 10% - if they're lucky...
Another arrow in my quiver called "VCs aren't a good model for funding companies."
