I can also guarantee you points 2 & 3 are pretty wrong as well. Funny (and also sad) how different peoples realities can be. I have been worn out sitting on both sides of the table to tell you the truth. (One thing I will say is that within VC, the vast majority of the folks actually doing the work are sympathetic and helpful to companies, working with early/senior employees, but it gets lost up the food chain so to speak and there's usually just one or two people making decisions at the end of the day about a particular deal or a whole portfolio- and these people are generally very self-interested.)
