That's a good enough explanation for me; I hope you can see why I thought it was odd. I was about to delete my comment but saw that tannerburson had replied.

Yeah man power and infrastructure. The goal with VC usually is to help something move faster in the direction of success/profitability via whatever resources the startup is lacking in.
