I doubt that is true.

Let's say you're pitching your startup to a potential investor. Would you pitch it as "the next Adobe" or "something Adobe might want to buy"? Which one would you be more likely to invest in?

I get your point, but that is not really the right framing because that is not how to pitch your startup.

Tell me what it does, what its long term vision is, how and by when you’ll make money, what’s your moat, how you will grow.
