That would be sweet. The sad truth is that a big company can coast on unhealthy exploitative behaviours for many years; perhaps decades.

This doesn’t apply to vc funded startups
Not sure what you mean. Uber scaled from VC funded startup to megacorp despite a raft of exploitative practices.
Longevity can be achieved for a company with two devs and no outside investment with 15k/month income so they can live ok.

But for a vc funded startup you need way more revenue to keep raising money. This is from what I learned in the startups I worked at.

I guess uber is a huge success compared to your median startup right?
