I wish investors would stop putting money into businesses run by 22 year olds with no life experience. The human cost of throwing someone this young into the deep end with a sink or swim attitude is far too high.

Truth, but most older folks will not buy their kool-aid.
Exactly. It is even more exploitive if you know this.
hmm not sure I agree on the age or life experience point. In my case yeah, we were a bad bet, but not because of our age.

I wish investors would stop putting money into businesses solving no real problem/with no real vision.

Also disagree on the human cost point, yes it may have cost a lot of money, but I'm certain the value the team and I will go on to create will far exceed the money we raised.

I am not 100% sure you are far enough removed from the situation to make a final judgement. Good luck with your current venture.
