Ask HN: Where did the anti-VC vibe go?
a couple of years ago, there was a big NoVC vibe around here that came to a head when DHH spoke at Startup School 2007. I was reading a link on AVC from here today, and it occurred to me that the NoVC vibe seems to have disappeared.
Any thoughts?
- maxdemarzi 16y agoI think the anti-vc crowd became the pro-lean startup and pro-angel/super angel crowd. It makes sense... get something done (aka traction), then ask for a bit of cash, if you need more cash (or are in a land grab situation) then think about VCs, otherwise just grow organically.
