Anything that's a sufficient departure from the norm is going to have a very hard time raising VC money from all but a very small handful of VCs that take really big transformative swings. That's not to say that Mill Computing doesn't need to do a better job at making material for laypersons to help build a zeitgeist around their thesis and what they're doing, but it should also be considered that they're doing something that VCs don't have much interest in for reasons that have nothing to do with the existential merits of Mill Computing. Which is just the long-winded way of saying, VC money is probably the wrong money for them.
