TLDR;
I turned down 5 million so that I could practically name the investor, get attention for my startup, and still make page 1 of HN.

I wonder how investors feel about posts like this. If you are an investor, would it change the way you feel about the CEO or the company?
- beat 13y agoWho cares? It's not like he's taking their money. edit: I'm not losing sleep over someone hurting the feelings of venture capitalists by publicly saying he didn't take their money when offered. Just as I doubt they're losing sleep over the companies they turn down.
- nhangen 13y agoI'm simply curious, that's all.
- refurb 13y agoI didn't think he disparaged the investor at all in the post. He simply stated that he didn't need the money. I don't think his decision had anything to do with the investor.
