Makes sense when you think of fundraising as a process where a bunch of sheeple don’t say yes until someone else does first.

instinctually this doesn’t feel true, at least at the despise level. complicated for sure, necessary evil ok, but despise? I dunno.

maybe I’m naive but seems a bit too broad a generalization. plenty of founders have good relationships with the firms that backed them.

Imo most VCs yes but plenty of exceptions
