While my experience with startups and venture capital is admittedly very limited, this interesting article seems to line up pretty well with the observations I have made. VCs are often less valuable to the startups they work with than they think they are and generally have different priorities over the course of deals than founders do. It was also interesting to see how European startups more commonly bootstrap their businesses than Americans do and therefore have different priorities than American entrepreneurs because I have worked with founders from both geographies in the past. Overall, I found this article to be very interesting and would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic area it addresses.
