The following isn't meant to harm or critizise anyone, but isn't such kind of outside investment more about changing your now worthy company stack against some more handy dollar notes? If a company just needs cash for profitable ideas they could get a loan, right? So if that's the case why would people say differently in their blog?

Well, anyway I'm happy that Github is doing fine.

They must have plans to venture out into unproven territory that includes risk to their core business that would make a bank balk at approving the loan.

Ah, that sounds reasonable.
