I think we're on substantially the same page regarding ethics. I'm all for avoiding lying, but I have come to appreciate that one can sell/market without lying. Given that the true state of reality is that one has 50% of a full pipeline, I would characterize that as "Investing in us is a limited opportunity. Other people are interested in it. If you want to invest in us, you should make that decision soon, because circumstances beyond our control may take away that option in the unspecified future." rather than "My gCal is half-empty so I should be able to slot you in whenever."
