What was actually said
I blatantly tell people, you actually shouldn't be taking money from a fund. You actually should consider being a little bit more scrappy and potentially getting some of this funding down the line or in kind services because they offer this. I actually don't think venture capital is for most, even though a lot of people feel like that is the option.
