Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Out of ~15,000 seed-funded startups per fund cycle, maybe one produces a $10B+ revenue company. The people who build those aren't a better version of great founders, they're a different species entirely. A 2 sigma founder builds a $10-100M business. A 3 sigma founder builds a unicorn. A 4 sigma founder doesn't adjust their ambition to match reality, they adjust reality. Each level is a 10x jump, not incremental.
