Thanks for pointing it out. I am not a native English speaker, and this is another lesson learned to me. :)
The point I want to make is that people are spending too much of their time and effort on raising money. We need to build a sustainable business after all.
I think Seth put that in a much better way than I do:
"The goal isn't to get money from a VC, just as the goal isn't to get into Harvard. Those are stepping stones, filters that some successful people have made their way through."
