>Funding doesn't equal success, it's simply a longer runway to failure.
In those cases (too many), funding is also a distraction and putting off todays problems (profit for sustainability) until the future.
VC funding has often struck me as a wonderful way for those who have been successful (many vc's are entrepreneurs) to give others a chance, and from a financial standpoint, likely a reasonable way to have some tax write-offs while doing good in the world to help give something a chance.
In that way, I like funding. At the same time, funding is about founders more than the idea.
