Boy is that not true. A lot of startup investments at that time spectacularly failed to pay.
Investing in startups is not like buying public stocks, where if you buy at the bottom of the market you're almost guaranteed a positive return. It's exactly the opposite, in fact. The returns depend almost entirely on which startups you pick, and hardly at all on market conditions when you invest.
