- vmception 5y agoYou can do a lot better with more professional VCs by not having ideas you believe in and can just articulate the gap in the market and how you'll extract value from it and exit. Not gatekeeping VC types here, just saying there are some that are swayed by emotional stories and nobody needs to be. The analogy I use is an expedition to the new world. Get funding from the Queen, get the ships and crew, sail to the new world, get the gold, come back, distribute profits and disband. Really there is no need to pretend to get married, or actually get married, to a business line. I would be immediately suspect of all the founders that cannot compartmentalize the idea. Save the "passion" for all the employees you need to gaslight into accepting lower compensation.
