Fast-growing technology companies exaggerate constantly. This isn’t to say
they lie; it’s just that when you’re raising large sums of money, it helps
to present an impressionist picture of your current business rather than a
photorealistic one. Google’s founders talked about organizing “the world’s
information” back when they weren’t even the most successful search engine
from Stanford University; Airbnb’s founders argued that vacation rentals
would, by some unknown alchemy, end hatred; and WeWork spun a fairly
conventional real estate startup into a pseudo-spiritual lifestyle brand.
