What's particularly telling about how absolute fucking bullshit these "Top VC" explanations are is that fact that virtually every single one of their comments is in this abstract, passive voice-- they're all talking about some other company, some other fund. It's never their problem or their mistake. It's full of qualifiers. Be an adult and take responsibility for yourselves!
Examples:
- "the price of oxygen has increased..."
- "the VC's have been saying..."
- "the venture community has realized..."
- "investors are largely to blame..."
- "I won't name [the company], it's one we're not in..."
- "to make the business work you have to go deeper into the muscle..." (I don't have enough WTF's for this one)
- "A number of companies will fail..."
- "I would say will end in unhappy outcomes..."
- "There are good businesses..."
- "I've heard of companies..."
- "Companies have and are doing certain things..."
- "you can say that as values get more rational, things will get better..."
