Fully agree with your unpopular opinion :)

> If your company is going to succeed, why do you need VC?

It's not just the VC but also the definition of success. Nowadays I see this mostly defined as being able to scale up quickly to - preferably - millions of users, and raking in loads of revenue in short time.

But why not have modest goals in mind to define success? Get decent, normal salaries for the initial team of employees, instead of striving to become rich. Then grow slowly and steadily.. you won't need VC at all that way, if you plan things right.

Scrap the word 'disruption' from your business plan. It originally had a negative connotation anyway. Go for sustainability in the holistic meaning of the word..

(PS. I like the use the term 'anti-disruption-layer' in these modern times.. trying to create one)
