This chapter draws a metaphor between the life cycle of companies and the development stages of a frog, from the 'egg' startup phase to the 'tadpole' hyper-growth stage. It highlights critical growth phases such as breakeven and capital return, examining the unique challenges and investment risks at each stage. Using examples like Rivian and Monday.com, it emphasizes the importance of management, competitive advantages, and careful capital allocation in achieving lasting profitability.
When you get to be a famous investor, it is harder to generate market-beating returns.
