— Ali Aydar (@eyedar)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:01:36 - @Jason @eyedar @hunterwalk sigh. that doesn't invalidate the series a crunch. it's basic math. do you have a ton of vcs we don't know about?

— Sarah Lacy (@sarahcuda)Tue, Dec 25 2012 17:45:55 - @sarahcuda @Jason @eyedar @hunterwalk u can totally argue the strongest will get funding. pretending it's not an issue ignores math/reality

— Sarah Lacy (@sarahcuda)Tue, Dec 25 2012 17:48:29 - @sarahcuda @Jason @eyedar @hunterwalk you can argue it's a *good* thing too. but reality is reality. there isn't capacity for 2000 series As

— Sarah Lacy (@sarahcuda)Tue, Dec 25 2012 17:49:12 - @sarahcuda @Jason @eyedar @hunterwalk u don't help entrepreneurs by making shit up. they need to be prepared and smart abt raising $ this yr

— Sarah Lacy (@sarahcuda)Tue, Dec 25 2012 17:50:33 - @sarahcuda @Jason @hunterwalk doesn't invalidate it, but does it matter? Either you'll get funded, sustainable on own, or die.

— Danny Boice (@DannyBoice)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:01:42 - @DannyBoice @sarahcuda @Jason @hunterwalk extinction is not bad if there is no value or if we've evolved to new levels

— Ali Aydar (@eyedar)Tue, Dec 25 2012 19:03:11 - @sarahcuda @Jason @hunterwalk I just don't think it matters. Businesses fail all the time for lots of reasons.

— Ali Aydar (@eyedar)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:06:55 - @eyedar @Jason @hunterwalk if you are one of the ones dying, it might matter to you ;) 1000+ companies going under is "a thing"

— Sarah Lacy (@sarahcuda)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:07:14 - @sarahcuda @eyedar @hunterwalk that's the point Sarah: they don't have to. Series a crunch doesn't exist if you have revenue.

— jason (@Jason)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:11:21 - @sarahcuda @Jason @hunterwalk if they were good businesses with good leaders, they would find a way - funding or not.

— Ali Aydar (@eyedar)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:07:25 - @eyedar @Jason @hunterwalk that's one of those things that people who aren't spending every moment building something says.

— Sarah Lacy (@sarahcuda)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:08:13- @sarahcuda @eyedar @hunterwalk I get the 'basic' math, but capacity increases. If these companies were great, amount of vc would double

— jason (@Jason)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:10:21 - @sarahcuda @eyedar @hunterwalk the point is amazing businesses will not go unfunded. So, focus on have $1m in revenue a year & it's gone.

— jason (@Jason)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:09:05 - @Jason @sarahcuda @eyedar @hunterwalk I think the number is closer to $350k/month for 2013. I don't think $1M year makes series A

— jason (@Jason)Tue, Dec 25 2012 18:26:01 - @Jason @sarahcuda @eyedar margins matter. @peterpham is doing lots of commerce companies where COGS are factor.
