Two questions or thoughts: i) It's sort of outrageous but not really. Dave is playing to his constituents. His target market are early startups full of developers. "Wearing a suit is like the “stupidest thing” if you are trying to create trust with geeky developers who are trying to start a company. “They are scared shitless of people in sales in suits,” he said." What better way to endear yourself to the scared shitless developer than to launch a blistering attack on the dreaded foe.
II) Does this risk any fallout for companies Dave invests in? With later rounds, that might include these VC's, could Dave's ongoing participation impact who might want to invest? Probably not but seems worth considering?
