You have to be a bit of a charlatan to really get the money. If you’re not willing to do that then maybe it’s not for you.

  Well.. I guess I have had the impression that people who get investments or grants are often better at convincing people to give them money than actually solving problems. But can you elaborate on why you put it like that, "a bit of a charlatan"?

    You have to be willing to tell them what they want to hear and hit the right notes, even if you know it’s not necessarily true or accurate.

      Not necessarily. Not all founders and not all VCs are cut from the same cloth.
