Reading that quote gave me a strong sense of déjà vu. Seems like there was a similar posting here maybe a couple years ago. Anyone remember this or am I crazy?
There have been many thread discussions on "why not just keep building it? Why is an exit always on the mind?" etc. Unsure if their was a specific post focusing on that aspect..Actually, to help other memories, I think it may have been AVC (or similar, quick google I believe its NOT avc / Fred Wilson) "Build an empire..not a ___" which discussed why you should build companies long-term.
