How do companies get funded then that:
1. Aren't VC funded
2. Aren't angel funded
Before you answer, keep in mind that 550,000 businesses are started EVERY MONTH in the U.S. alone. VC's fund less than 4,000 of those each YEAR.
You must have some kind of insight that 23 million small business owners don't.
- rms 19y agoI think his point is that companies that can't get funded usually won't be successful, because there has to be something wrong with them to not get funded. Only someone who lives in the Valley and sees how easy it is for someone reasonably connected to get funded could have this attitude. This isn't always true but there's at least some truth there.

- bmaier 19y agoStuff like this makes my brain hurt. Ok, so you wrote a post that essentially yells at people, good job. What value does this add? what problem have you solved here? Let's keep hacker news to submissions that are relatively content rich and engaging.
