I think you're missing the distinction between the symbol and the act. A medal is not what you are seeking to win. Its a representation of what you have achieved (which seems to be pg's point). You can take away all of Michael Phelps medals and it won't in one way diminish the fact that 18 times he was the fastest guy in the pool at the Olympics.

Nope. Paying customers do that I'm afraid. To suggest that a round of funding is an achievement in and of itself is to put it in the same camp as winning a business plan competition. Sure it might show that One person likes your idea, but that's pretty much worthless compared to paying customers.
