The argument here seems to be "to raise capital, tell investors whatever they want to hear, irrespective of how true it is. Pass DD by covering up your lies, then cover up the coverups". This is supposed to be a curated list of VC pitches. I honestly don't understand how Theranos, a company that raised and grew solely by spreading lies and then covering them up, can end up in a list like that, except if the authors of said list think that this is a good way to raise money. I don't understand how it is that everybody agrees that stealing a painting from a museum is bad, but when you steal billions (!) from investors then suddenly it's "inspiration". EDIT: I hadn't yet realized you're the author. > but from my end it's more of a "This is how you should not do it" This is a good point, and with that I think it makes more sense. But IMO it needs a much bigger "fraud alert! don't do this, these people are evil" note :-)
