What your mental plan is doesn't matter though, as long as you actually made a reasonable effort towards what the VCs expect. Or does anyone actually tell them "invest in me because I'll overtake Nvidia or die trying"?
I guess the person taking the VC deal isn't actually against getting filthy rich if they have a chance. If you say "I think this can get big", burn cash and work hard for a while, then recognize the moment where it's not sustainable anymore and scale down, then you did what was expected.

It makes the difference between being wrong and being a liar. >I guess the person taking the VC deal isn't actually against getting filthy rich if they have a chance. If you say "I think this can get big", burn cash and work hard for a while, then recognize the moment where it's not sustainable anymore and scale down, then you did what was expected. But if at the time you said that you actually neither believed it could get big nor intended to try to make it big, you've committed fraud even if the ultimate outcome is expected.
