It's a bit different when someone is repeatedly bailed out by a richer parent.

How's that different than being repeatedly bailed out with VC money?

Nepotism vs. Meritocracy (or at least a rationalized investment)

The VC game seems a bit more... suspect than to clearly label it as a meritocracy. Particularly for serially bankrupt founders.

VC firms still rationalize it though. Also, how many serial bankrupt founders keep getting investments from the same VC?
