    I read this article and I was like, 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️. I tell companies all the time that venture is a very specific kind of scalpel and it's not right for every business. I told some founders that this week. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/technology/start-ups-rejecting-venture-capital.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesbusiness …

        it's an issue in venture marketing generally, because the business is a business of anomalies so no one ever wants to publicly rule out or exclude anything. But really, many businesses, if not most, don't fit the venture model.

        isn't "funding for bootstrappers" an oxymoron?

        Don't lie. That concept was "unfamiliar" to you.

        it's their money to invest however they like.

        Likely the single most common response investors give. It’s actually a critically important filter despite how frustrating it might be to founders.

        Think a major issue is investors not pointing to what exactly is the right path for them in that particular situation and making an intro to close that loop? It seems to be the case that startups are trying to package themselves to fit the VC model at early stage.

        I do think the economics can work for - at least a subset of - non-VC scale companies. However that example has a maximum loan of £25k ($32k), which wouldn't cover 3 months in SF, so not a fit for anything moderately ambitious.
