Heard on a founder startup..

“VCs can’t exist without founders.
Founders can’t exist without VCs”

Will share my thoughts but curious what folks think.

Without a doubt!

Having bootstrapped a dozen companies to revenue and raised VC for the last 4, it is very often a choice.

Most startups aren’t venture-scale, nor will they deliver better returns for the founders.

Founders can absolutely exist without VCs. Many do.

totally agree! it's like a symbiotic relationship, right? founders need that $$ and VCs need those innovative ideas. teamwork makes the dream work! 🚀
