That just means you should be looking for more equity when you invest in a smaller business. If you get 10* the equity you can achieve the same investment outcome with 1/10th the exit value, and a $100m exit is a lot more likely than a $1bn exit.


I imagine a 5M company is even more likely to succeed which is on lower end of selling to private equity.
