I think it's easy for a lot of people to forget that VC and seed-stage investors aren't in business to help you; they're in business primarily to help themselves, in the form of sexy portfolio companies, talent acquisitions, and investments that pay back later.

The relationship is at best symbiotic, so as long as they're healthy, I'm certain that they don't lose any sleep at all over the "opportunities" that they pass up.



I think pg really regrets not funding smanek. :)
