But we saved everything 🙂.
Turner Novak commented on the significant investment required for each new store, pointing out that at $30 million per store, advanced features such as self-driving carts and ultra-fast two-minute delivery should be included.
Novak's tweet reflects heightened expectations for the technology and efficiency that would justify such a substantial expenditure per location.
Novak has previously tracked performance trends in venture funding, noting a VC fund that posted a 2.81x TVPI, with much of the result linked to a single SaaS unicorn. In a separate update for the first quarter of 2026, he observed that Anthropic became the most sought-after startup secondary share, overtaking SpaceX. These posts reflect Novak’s ongoing focus on investment outcomes and asset trends in technology.
