VC commentator dunkhippo33 lays out the end goal for venture-backed startups: profitability at high revenue. The holy grail is repeatable, profitable customer acquisition channels that can scale past $100M per year (arguably toward $1B), done as cash-efficiently as possible.
He adds that by Series B and beyond, investors typically expect all three pieces — product, channel, and unit economics — to be figured out, which usually means proving it out with millions in revenue.
