It's always the same with VC's. Do what you can (illegal or no), obfuscate and redirect, ignore when possible, and finally fake-apology ("we're sorry you feel bad").
Sure the "rules" say to assume with best intentions. That goes along with "obfuscate and redirect". It's easier to point at rules as a club to make an example. But in reality, in the end VCs are themselves toxic.
Look no further than the crowd of businesses and partners YC surrounds itself with.
- yc_yuck 6y agoVery true. Unfortunately, too many people ignore this, or don't realize this, and instead lionize VCs like they're some class of better humans or something. Quite sickening, really.
- goodgriefer 6y agoIt is obvious why these people suck up to VC's. It's where the easy money is. Banks are super risk adverse (in business 3+ years, with client base and revenue, and collateral).. Versus some shit VCs who'll encourage to "disrupt" (eg: dismiss legal or safety regulations to extract quick profit) with a 1 out of 10 chance of a startup hitting the hockey stick growth. Lie with the dogs, and you get fleas. I'll leave it to the reader to decide who the dogs and fleas are.
