Except if I'm an investor, and someone tells me that they are looking for a specific role that will help the company reach financial goals, they are spending time and money trying to find that person(s) and they aren't actually looking (rather, just posturing) that is fraud-y in a roundabout way. They are spending time and money on something that they know won't pan out. That's a waste of money.
- johnnyanmac 2y agosadly, there can be a lot of inefficies and the number can still go up. That's ultimately all modern (western?) stakeholders care about these days. Not like they can't switch their stocks in days if they get worried.

Sure, if you're the investor that asks all those questions and has enough information to answer them, you won't be happy. But I think most investors aren't going to drill down to that level. Especially, anyone investing is going to know some money wasting has to happen, some posturing has to happen, just to be trendy and so attract "brilliant/energetic/etc" people as well as more investors. And a given start-up investor has to want more investors since the company runs on an accelerating flow of funds; your money is only being multiplied if other people are tossing in theirs and if your money isn't being multiplied, it's vanishing.
