Fuck building a $100M. Can you build a $10M or just a $1M company? Just do that (first).
I read somewhere - first get comfortable, then get rich (or change the world). This insane focus on the wrong metric (valuation/size of your company) is going to hurt nearly every first-time founder, which I presume most of you will be.
Once in a while, you do hit the jackpot, but let it happen to you, let it come to you as you make progress and hit bigger and better milestones. Pretty sure even Zuck, Gates, Jobs, or you-name-it-unicorn-founder had no fucking clue that theirs would be the unicorn company.
