I'm not sure what you're saying. You've always got to put your best foot forward. What worked in 2007 is just not going to work in 2016, naturally.

early stage startups can be very delusional about how big they can become on either side of the scale (drew quoting very less and some other startup quoting billion dollars). So, its not really up to the startup to predict how big they can become, it all depends on the interviewer. Nothing to do here for the startup i guess.
