The tv series Silicon Valley has a good episode where they discuss the importance of a start-up not having any revenue. Being pre revenue apparently means unlimited potential, with any level of revenue being bad, as you always have to grow it.

I have been in actual conversations where the topic was whether to avoid revenue to prevent being measured on it...

That show was very on the nose about a great many things.

Yeah. That's totally real. (But I get that it was also funny, and I loved that show.)
