This document discusses the importance of growth for startups after receiving venture capital funding. It explains that venture capitalists invest to turn a company's growth into internal rate of return compared to the exit multiple. The first phase of investment focuses on product and growth through an approach that involves operational partners to help founders. Due diligence examines product and growth potential. After investing, venture capitalists help founders by providing operational support to maximize growth accounting and the quick ratio.
