Except he's the person dictating the flow of money. It's more like a housing buyer saying there's good investments despite signs of a bubble.
- gruntled 12y agoBut it isn't his money: VC funds raise money from other investors (aka limited partners). It's like asking a banker or hedge fund manager if there's a stock market bubble. They won't say yes because if investors pull their money out of equities, the banks and hedge funds are screwed.
