- pcrh 13y agoI think many people such as myself (biotech scientist) fail to see how far we have to move away from the "cutting edge" in order to attract interest. A basic researcher thinks nothing of investing 3 years of labor into something that might work, because if you look at it this way and also that way, then it means the other, etc, etc. The time horizon for VCs is much shorter than that. If your idea is not working now, then you have very little chance of getting investment.
- greatguns 13y agoI don't think so. It's just a bad parody of VC's. Someone with the intellect and having developed disruptive technologies similar to some of what Tesla patented could still easily score investors. I think whoever did this was partially right-on but mostly just pissed at the way things are. The fact is, money doesn't grow on trees. There has to be a filter, and that filter isn't perfect.
