Not everybody here is "under the roof of a VC". I recently read a very inspiring article here about a successfully bootstrapped company. It's too bad more companies can't get off the ground without VC funding. I also think the cynicism hits extra hard when this happens with direct-to-consumer and educational companies. I don't think people care quite so much when a B2B company takes a round of funding because whatever change happens there is not something that will likely hit consumers directly, and of course the whole for-profit educational aspect has been been beaten to death.
