I don't have any reason to like or dislike VCs on personal experience. The ones I've met randomly (e.g. running in Central Park) seem to be nice enough, and I'm sure that a lot of them are good. But VC-istan is full of deeply unethical people (those I have met, unfortunately) who don't deserve to be funded and I can't believe that the VCs aren't aware of what these people are doing. VCs need to stop funding unethical people, who get money just because they're well-connected, outright. Plus there are horrors like multiple liquidation preferences, which exist to reassert the social superiority of the VCs and leave me feeling it wouldn't be so bad if VC-Istan disappeared. Technology doesn't need it.
