yep, one-person billion dollar company is less than 10x of per-employee valuation of NVDA, OpenAI, PLTR, etc. - a bunch of companies where per-employee valuation has crossed $100M. That is tens of thousands of people, not just one individual.
The $1b per employee large corporation is much easier to imagine though, per the point of the OP - it's hard to imagine someone generating so much revenue that their company is valued at $1b not choosing to hire at least one person to do stuff they haven't got time for or don't like doing.
Well, I don’t see much difference between $1B and $100M, and none of these companies would hire me “to do stuff they haven't got time for or don't like doing.“
Funny how people forget this simple fact and are still arguing here if a 1-person unicorn is even possible in their imagination. Well, step out of the trees in the forest...
