“Don't forget that if they really knew what to do to start a successful company they wouldn't be investors but founders”

I can’t stand this philosophy, e.g. “those who can’t do teach” kind of stuff.

Perhaps VCs prefer their job to being a founder?

Not everyone who is _capable_ of being a founder _wants to_ be a founder. It’s exhausting work that takes all of your time.

My point is that only a handful of people have been able to create several successful companies. Because we don't know how to create such company, so most advice in that case are wrong

And plenty of VCs are former founders.

And they, of course, know it's a numbers game. Why suffer all the failure and risk never having another hit when you can let others do it for you?
