Okay so your entire comment thread is really arguing about the semantics of what the phrase “venture-backed” means. I really don’t see what’s the gain by pursuing this line of discussion other than to be argumentative. Everyone clearly knows what everyone else means.

No, my entire comment thread is about this article pretending to have invented a third option, when in fact it's still just the two. It's a bullshit clickbait headline, where a more honest one would have been "Endless fundraising isn't necessary" or something. Everyone clearly doesn't know what everyone else means, or else the headline wouldn't be misleading and someone else wouldn't have tried to convince me that 'venture-backed' means your business should be a ponzi scheme.
