"Too expensive" isn't necessarily a fallacy, it depends on your funds size and your hedging strategy. If a startup requests for more money than you can afford, you don't invest, even if it's awesome.
From a founder point of view, I think fishing for the investors that missed the bar by a few centimeters is a clever strategy.
I would personally favor an involved investor over a rich investor any time of the day, because an investment isn't just a spreadsheet you agree upon.
- FredBrach 14y ago"missed the bar by a few centimeters" May I recall that: startup => company company !=> startup (a company isn't necessarily a startup) Startup meant to be very-fast growing companies and then, in this condition, what an investor should ask himself is only: is this company a startup? If yes, the investor must invest at almost any price because the company will be 10x or even 100x bigger tomorrow. At least, buying 2x for the price of a share is ok.
- shin_lao 14y agothe investor must invest at almost any price This is not investing, this is gambling. When I invest, I have a hedging strategy and caps. If you offer me a gold mine for $ 15 and I have only $ 10 to invest, sorry, I'll pass.
