VCs are looking for “hockey stick” growth and will push you to pursue that even if that’s not in the best interests of the business’ survival or long term health. Proceed with caution.

Angels are more varied in the outcomes they seek. Screen them for alignment.

Alternatively, if you can invest cash in the business now for meaningful ROI, consider traditional small business loans.

Forgot to mention, I've been in the game quite a while. Yea assuming VC would definitely not interested in a services business with such a slow growth trajectory.

However also become acutely aware that everything in business right now has flipped topsy-turvy upside down and backwards. Nonsensical even by standards of the last recession.. wondering if VC is acting as weird as everyone else, since all the rules are being broken.

Business loans would keep us on the same business as it's been for 20 years bootstrap path. I want a big shake up of the company structure to spark a fire and accelerate growth ahead of the rebound, so we can rise with the market at the top of the pack.
