Venture capital outlook on rapid revenue growth

Nicole DeTommaso said that in the current venture capital environment, a startup can achieve three times growth in revenue over a year and still be viewed as a disappointment.

DeTommaso described this as an example of how venture capital can make extraordinary outcomes feel ordinary, particularly at this time.

DeTommaso has previously noted that investors and venture capitalists often focus on promoting their portfolios, sometimes presenting them as stronger than they are in reality, according to earlier comments. She has also explained that much of venture capital's success comes from rare, high-impact bets, with many investments expected to underperform, as discussed in prior analysis. These observations provide context for her view on current growth expectations in the sector.
