| ankurwa10 | this is actually a good question. Helps clarify the point that VC investment isn't always in equity. traditionally, if i need to fund my start up, i go to banks or angel investors (debt or equity). VCs can simply be seen as a proxy (replacement for them, hence debt and equity) |
| Inaganti6 | it's also a good question because it proves that choosing the more broad and unconditionally right answer can be rewarding. D> B |
| ascruggs92 | B is wrong because it is absolute, not because it is "less right" than D. Venture Capital CAN BE in the form of equity or IS OFTEN in the form of equity would be correct. |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
