The flip side of this is that if your idea is not able to scale... it might not be worth doing.
Let's say the market of your idea is $100M/year, and in a best case scenario you can get $10M/year... that might not be a lot, especially if you consider all the costs and risks of business.
Worse, is that the smaller the market, likely the harder the business to run. You end up spending more resources, to gain less customers.
There's a lot of value in trying to understand market size, before in eating time and effort into a venture - regardless of venture capital.
