For every entrepreneur who says you don't need VC money, I can find you one who is equally convinced of the opposite. The biggest successes in technology have been venture-backed. That's the point of VC - to allow successful companies to scale up and have a shot at being super-successful.
- dennykmiu 19y agoI agree and I believe I am one of those who thinks one thing and do another. I have had my own share of bad experience with VC's but I tried very hard not to demonize and tried to learn from my past. Perhaps using an analogy that I have seen in one of the YC posts, thinking that I could an astronaut one day doesn't mean that I actually want to go to the moon, but it gives me the motivation and the endurance to just get across town. http://www.lovemytool.com/blog/2007/10/vc-worst-enemy.html http://www.lovemytool.com/blog/2007/10/vc-worst-enemy.html
