Munger's advice about sitting on your hands applies here too

13 years buying businesses. We have twice gone through 4 year periods without making a major acquisition.
Some of our best decisions have been passing on sub optimal opportunities.

This math always sounds so easy but is often very wrong. $39/m = Consumer facing subscription product = high churn and high CAC. If you add 1 customer a day but also lost .2 customers a day, you're only adding .8 a day and the payback might not be till month 2 or 3.

All businesses die when they can't pay the bills.
In the US we practice resurrection via Chapter 11, but even then those "energetic founders" are going to get nothing.
God I hate stuff like this, designed to convince 20 somethings to work 80 hours a week for a VC.
