I misinterpreted the title of the article and this post. I thought Leone was making this point about startups. He's not.
tl;dr: VC is warfare; venture firms themselves need to be aggressive, nimble, and revolve around small teams to thrive. Don't give up too much equity, beware overcommitted angels, and sometimes high growth companies need tons of funding.
