I grew Babylon 400% a year, and I can tell you it's incredibly, incredibly hard to go at that rate continuously. The VCs who are saying this kind of stuff, if you look at the guys who are talking about it, they have never run a business.

Find this show
hundreds and hundreds of percentage a year, you're not growing. Right? I mean, I grew Babylon 400% a year, and I can tell you it's incredibly, incredibly hard to go at that rate continuously. Right? I promise you this. The VCs who are saying this kind of a stuff, if you look at the guys who are talking about it, they have never run a business on them.
Why this clip
This is a direct attack on VCs from someone who built a billion-dollar company, combining specific data (400% growth) with a provocative claim about VC hypocrisy. The contrast between lived experience and armchair criticism creates compelling tension.
What they said next
The last time you went to a doctor, she probably was rushed. You probably had a lot of questions to ask that you didn't, because you thought 'I don't want to take the time.' You're of a generation that is far more demanding than the generation that was very reverent towards the medical community.
