I’ve been in “startups” since 2012. This is truth beyond truth.

Play the game, get funding.

In sales we were asked to “fudge” the numbers a bit to show a huuuuuge pipeline in future sales. VC’s throw money like fools they aren’t. Those same fudged numbers to help with “exit” too. VC’s first ones out of the burning building. Rinse/repeat. 😱
