To become the next Uber, do I just need to run huge losses?


I wouldn’t but path to success can clearly come from running 10-digit losses for a loooong time, no?


I think you're saying that just running up huge losses is sufficient to create a successful company? But that you personally wouldn't want to run up huge losses? Not sure.


nah, I am saying that many (super) successful businesses ran in red financially for a very long time. I would not run a business that way but I am also (fortunately) not a CEO of a multibillion dollar company
