While I agree with some of the statements made in the article, I don't think everything is doom and gloom. There is still a place for early-stage VC for founders looking to scale. …

We took our startup through Techstars in 2016. The next year they took a very similar company that ended up getting more funding and attention. We didn't understand it at first, bu…
