How so? Anyone can burn through VC funds, how does that ability measure "corporate performance?" Even if you aren't VC funded, you can burn through all your profit easily overpaying your employees and go into debt, but that means just the opposite, in that case you have poor corporate performance and the business isn't sustainable.
