> While this is a capital intensive business, if you cannot create a path to profitability after being handed 100 million I don't see how raising more money could help.

The past few years have proven this wrong. A lot of companies raised far more than that and just recently (relatively) became profitable. Uber, Tesla, and even going back a bit, Facebook.

100 million was a tiny amount of what was needed for them to become profitable.

The rest I agree with though.

Thanks for bringing up some counterexamples. I want to point out that while Uber and Facebook raised massive amounts, they used the original capital effectively enough to produce business results convincing enough to secure new capital.
