Only one thing matters: GROWTH.

9-9-6 culture is what's NECESSARY to win in today's AI market. And if you're not willing to do it? You probably can't raise money. T2D3 (triple, triple, double, double, double) isn't interesting anymore. VCs want Q2T3. They want $100M in months, not years. With tiny teams. And$ 1M+ ARR per head.

Everyone thinks this is insanity.

But, in the Topline newsletter, Dave Kellogg makes the case this is rational.

Nobody said disruption was pretty.

In platform markets, first place is worth 10-100x second place.

Second is worth 10-100x third.

Third place is worth a set of steak knives.

That's why AI companies are burning cash to win.

So what do you do?

Hunkering down won't save you.

10% growth and 5% EBITDA at $30M ARR makes you worth maybe$ 15-30M.

If you raised $50M, you're underwater.

Only one thing matters: GROWTH.
