I hear you. I feel like the entire VC culture right now is built on bullshit. You simply cannot be honest about deadlines or realities with these people. It's a terrible culture and I think it's symptomatic of a greater sickness in America. We desperately need to return to a time where people with merit were recognized and respected. The way money is awarded now really seems like it's optimizing for buzzwords and bullshit.

> You simply cannot be honest about deadlines or realities with these people. This hits home. PE: Our investment thesis says x, y, z. Why aren’t you achieving goals? ME: That was a spreadsheet built 3 years ago, by you, 2 years before a CFO was hired. Do I really have to remind you of every false assumption you guys made when you built that model each month when I deliver financial results? These jokers built a long range plan (complicated back of envelope), with no industry experience, made up growth rates, and expect reality to match up.
