        @paulg Because Silicon Valley investors would never do that (offer sky high valuations and then witness away)...what utter BS.

        @Jasongn Though I think you meant that sarcastically, you're right. Established SV investors treat termsheets as binding.

        @paulg founders are smart and often smarter than VCs. In @pmarca's words, I read his fear that good tech deals are getting more global :)

        @paulg There is definitely a different approach with *most* SV investors, but not all. Most treat TS as binding unless bad diligence.

        @paulg @foundersatwork @pmarca seems like classic sign of frothy market (not using b word), too much $ chasing too few deals.
