Exactly. Once you have watched how the insider game is played in Silicon Valley, being an investor is the least of your conflicts. There are so many weird relationships going on, it's almost like real life. I'm friends with X, Z owes me a favor, etc. None of that stuff is disclosed, because it's just how the world works.

One of the key values of reading TC is that it offers strong opinions. If you just want to read bland press releases, I can point you elsewhere.
