And from a financial perspective, any investor would be better off buying stock in Amazon than buying and share of a corner bookshop; if you invested $100 in Amazon’s 1997 initial public offering (IPO), those shares would have been worth about $120,000 in 2018. I [Reid] remember when Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky told me about the offer.).

That’s what we teach in business schools and classic entrepreneurship: you develop a business plan, you get financed, and then you start. It’s out of date now, but if you look for it, you can find the 1997 Dun & Bradstreet research on causes of business failure that listed “too much money&# as one of the causes.
