That's very interesting. I did not know that was the case. I've thought about how the reasons VC is so important can be ranked: 1. Validation is antidote to founder burnout 2. Collaboration improves iteration. 3. Money covers founder and startup expenses. The money isn't the most important thing in my experience. I think there's a big opportunity to shift the validation/collaboration to early stages and for more founders and the result will be more and better and bolder startups. I'm pretty sure there's a giant unlock connecting founder vision, community, and VC.
