Remember, it is never a smart bet to try to build an "acquisition" rather than build a business. After all, if your business cannot survive on it's own you'll need to exit the company way before any exit strategy can even occur—because you'll be bankrupt.

VCs in the U.S. understand that the parameters of the classic business model do not apply to the businesses they back. While European boards are focused on profits and revenue from the get-go, their U.S. counterparts realize that money often takes its time coming.
