Disadvantages of Venture capital-Mitch Kapor Founder of Foxmarks

  • Many do sell finances or use angel investors.
  • Without the stress and work of achieving venture funding, we can spend more time on improving our product instead.
  • There are accountability issues if we get venture capital, like having to make investors happy and demonstrating progress.
  • We are not subject to negative pressures when you raise your own money.
  • With selling finances, its too easy not to have the discipline, even if you mean well to put off tough decisions about expanding the business, because if you stretch out, you can put more money in.
