		<description><![CDATA[VCs take a porfolio approach to managing risk; individual company is largely irrelevant because of diversification effects. In fact, one of my portfolio companies was once rejected by Sequoia because, &#8220;You&#8217;ll almost certainly build a nice $100 million business. But we&#8217;d rather have a riskier investment that either flames out or becomes a $1 billion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com was started with the idea that they would make money by shipping physical products. Today&#8217;s Amazon makes money by building a market place where every link that take you to a product is in fact an ad (revenue share). They make more money, not by shipping goods, but by referring customers to other goods. [...]]]></description>
