初创公司把融资轮次当作一系列里程碑来对待，这是个误区。有件事比完成任何一轮融资都更了不起：那就是实现丰厚盈利，从而根本不再需要融资。最终，所有公司都必须达到无需外部融资也能健康运营的状态。你越早做到，越好。
It’s a mistake for startups to treat fundraises as a series of milestones. There’s something even more impressive than raising a series whatever: to be making so much that you don’t need to. Eventually all companies have to reach this point. The sooner you do, the better.
