If you’re shaking your head and thinking, “duh” I promise you that even some of the most sophisticated people I know get off track on this issue of “gross revenue” versus “net revenue.”.

If you aren’t doing things which are sufficiently crazy, you’ll never generate a 5x net fund. That means we want to put up 5x net funds, we want to be investing in owning non-trivial quantities, generally at least 10%, of companies. Most venture funds return at best 1x net over 10 years. You have to know that going in.
