Most are: The mantra 3, 3, 2, 2 (annual) adds up to 9x revenue growth in first 2 years, and presumably, higher growth in upstream metrics to feed that . They will invest at 20-100x (and even 1000x+) multiples of revenue if they believe it.

This means tripling revenue growth for the first two years and then doubling for the next two years.
