What They Really Mean
I got to this article via Occam's Razor. For some reason this automatically brang to mind a section from one of Guy Kawasaki's books (can't remember which one). Guy's text was oriented towards a response to a VC question and split into "what you want to say" and "what you should say". This post is more in the line of "what they're saying" and "what they really mean":
We’ve got about forty VC’s chasing after us
(We've been kicked out of a dozen VC's offices).
We don’t even need the money.
(I haven't been paid for the last 2 months.)Note that I know nothing about the company in the article. The statements are "so bold" that my immediate reaction was "whats the real truth here". The quotes may very well be the equivalent to political sound bites where the real guts of the conversation is lost for the sake of a short news segment. Hey, wouldn't it be great if 40 VC's were chasing your company and you didn't need the money!
