Venture capitalists and angel investors claim to seek iconoclastic non-conformist founders, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

These are the type of people who get funding and, perhaps compared to the regular population, they are "crazy" for starting a VC funded startup that gives them a salary, but in my eyes they're pretty conformist. I think that most of MDS would struggle to get funding.
Agree 100%. I didn't mean that the businesses of MDS wouldn't get funding (to your point, while profitable and growing fast, they don't have VC-level growth). I meant that the people are semi-incompatible.
