The headline reads like the author specifically avoided Betteridge's law. However, the TechChunch headline reads at the end, "Could Be The Best
Bang For Your Cap Table Buck [emphasis mine--left out of the HN headline]". We have to be careful when talking about what is the "best" of anything, because we then have to define the metric.
> The 28-year-old Rothenberg explains that the goal of his one-man firm “is to open up my network to the founders and be available as a sounding board for them while taking a fraction of the cap table space that larger investors take. My network is often complementary to the other investors on the cap table, as they are often older than the founders while I typically invest in founders around my age.”
In this case, the metric seems to be VC-derived utility per dollar invested. Since utility is a nebulous concept, this metric is by definition also nebulous and inexact.
