Potential is defined pretty loosely as "1/200 chance of being worth 10 bil plus" based on their track record so far.

You might be able to do that if you had enough amazing people / companies offering you equity.

I think what he's saying is that there are a subset of companies that no matter how successful they get, they are not in a market to ever be worth 10 billion.
