Even if your friends got the VC money, wouldn't the lack of "hustle" ability hurt their chances of turning the prototype into a successful company?

- abritinthebay 9y agoYes, it would. It’s an oft unacknowledged fact. Companies that don’t play the VC game are harder work but totally possible (and potentially more rewarding) but the VC game requires those “hustlers” because that’s the VC’s expectations.
- snovv_crash 9y agoIt depends on the industry they're trying to break into. Some industries prefer their providers to be quiet, competent and not promise things they haven't built yet. In these, the typical VC hustler would be a liability.
- watwut 9y agoYes it would. However, note that it would not hurt their ability to be chief engineer - except that is not happening either.
