Bezos founded Amazon in a different era. It predates even Google. In fact, by the time Google was founded, Amazon has already IPOd. Back then the tech VC system was highly different. Bezos had to explain to early investors what the internet was. If you found a company now, you will be exposed to much different conditions.

Just an example. Again, if you raise money and end up with 1% of something that isn’t Apple/Google/etc., you made some serious mistakes along the way.
