  • Investors would rather fund a taco stand than a Mexican restaurant.
    • The taco stand can demonstrate traction more cheaply and then make follow-on investment much less risky.
    • Investors will always pull the entrepreneur back to the taco stand framing.
    • A taco stand can sometimes be a zombie, impossible to grow beyond some small ceiling.
    • But they'd rather box in a potentially great idea into a taco stand cul de sac and miss its major payoff, than to go all in on an expensive Mexican restaurant that fails.
