Growing at the rate of inflation only matters if your market is capped out. Like, say Soda makers.

If you either create a brand new market, or are taking on a drastically undeserved market... you absolutely need to be growing faster than inflation. Or your brand new company would be worth $1 the first year, $1.03 the second year..

Yeah I was trying to convey there are successful businesses that are broadly maintaining and there are rocketships (and everything in between) and we should expect them to be valued differently and have different risk profiles. So the observation (100x! That’s dumb!) is not rational.
