They do, but that's not a bad thing. Sequoia invests in companies they think could be worth multiple billions.

If Deno reaches 30% of the impact of Node, their company could be worth billions.

In the meantime, we get a better open source runtime because they have money to build it out.

a startup could be worth billions only based on the fact that investors continue throwing money at it

there are lots of companies, which are technically "unicorns", but haven't even got any revenue yet (Rivian and Nikola come to mind)
