My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Patient capital enables better business building than venture timelines

Evidence

Fire Crown uses 15-30 year capital timeline, allows for organic growth and market development without pressure to sell quickly

Implication

Entrepreneurs should seek capital sources aligned with their business development timeline rather than accepting standard VC terms

Counter Belief

Fast growth with VC backing captures more market opportunity and creates bigger outcomes

Example Application

Magazine acquisition strategy requires years to develop commerce products, patient capital allows this vs VC pressure for quick exits
