Did this not get directly refuted by PG in his earlier comment in this thread?
I am sorry - but your post rings so full of hubris and egotism that I cant take you seriously.
If I am just obtuse, then I apologize. Please consider the following;
>Most entrepreneurs would want to invest that energy into building their companies, not involved with too much political muck.
Where are you showing VCs/even YC to reduce political muck? It appears to be rampant. I see that the initial investment (YC seed, through others) has increased - but that does not prove the value to dollar ratio has necessarily increased at the same rate.
Political muck indeed.

This is fucking BS; you state that Receiving VC is equic with CHOOSING to stay at a 7 star joint.
Look - people do NOT choose to stay at a 7 star place (no such thing) unless they already have the funds - in your case, you are saying that one only counts if they have already been included in the circle to, not only, receive the 7-star funds, but are also in a position to spend said funds on same resort.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
You sound like an MBA/Finance, uh, geek who entered into VC at too young of an age and the only person you have managed directly is the hot admin with big tits whom, had they not ordered your coffee correctly, you would have berated them for their poor upbringing.
Sorry - but, I do not think you are really of the proper domain expertise to be answering such threads.
