As a venture capital investor, if you had an opportunity to invest in Amazon but passed, what was your rationale?
That's a fair point. Do you think there were any factors that could have led you or other investors to believe Amazon was worth the investment?
Absolutely. In retrospect, the fact that Amazon was expanding into new markets and was focused on customer satisfaction and fulfilling its mission of becoming the world's most customer-centric company, were big indicators of its potential for success. However, at the time, investors were likely more risk-averse and less willing to take a chance on newcomers to the market.
