I’m no fan of the startup and HN definition of success being valuation, revenue, or market cap while ignoring (the lack of) profitability.
But from a cynical standpoint, why not take VC money if you can get it? It seems like you should take VC money if you don’t have a business model that would lead to being a profitable ongoing concern.
If I can see profitability, why would I give up equity?
You let other people take the downside risk. Why use your own money instead of other people’s money.
