This post highlights a deep issue in the industry: Many times in today's climate, investors are more incented by short term returns than building long-term value. Ideally, investors would help companies grow, prosper and reach their potential. Unfortunately, many times their goal is to quickly flip the company for quick returns, sometimes through another round of financing, other times through a quick acquisition that ends up stifling long-term growth.

Very refreshing, honest article.
