- wilfra 14y agoI would imagine lots of VC's end up feeling this way, because the people they interact with most are amazingly talented and smart startup founders - who are constantly kissing their ass and telling them everything they say is genius. Don't get me wrong, I do think he is a genius and there is some gold in this article - but also some ridiculous statements.
