> Most angel investors and VCs will also insist

If they do "insist" on this regardless of circumstances, it would not be ideal to partner with them since they clearly don't know what they are doing. And if you are partnering with someone, don't you want them to know what they are doing?

The list of VCs that insist on a C-Corp is essentially the list of VCs. So sure, you don't need to convert, but you won't ever be able to raise VC money without converting.
