I think any prospecting founder should be able to answer the question "will it always take a fixed amount of work to get each new customer?".

Generally if you have some sort of idea of what you want to do, you'll be more successful at it.

Most founders - especially vc backed founders - only care about whether the optics look good enough for an acquisition or an IPO. They could care less if it fails after that.

YC backed companies are no exception
