Why does any NYC VC care about a drug charge (unless it was a felony... in which case, your story doesn't really add up)? You seem to have a lot of excuses for why things haven't worked out and none of them include yourself as a cause... Just something to think about.

im absolutely the cause, and fair enough. wasn't trying to get into the whole story and I probably did provide an overly favorable context for my overly-personalized question. I did not mention that I was begrudgingly the CEO despite the fact that my partner was a good 10 years older than me and had a lot of experience in the space, whereas I had just graduated college, was a relatively unproven commodity to the VCs, and had an unresolved legal matter lingering over me, as well. I certainly made a ton of mistakes throughout the venture. It was not my intention to question or make excuses for that. I am sorry my question came across that way to you. I might just need a change in scenery!
