I'm sorry you feel that way -- we did discuss this when deciding what to call it, but ultimately decided that what the community we aim to create is much closer to a fellowship and peer group of scientists than a VC fund.

We're optimizing how we run things to build a community of scientists over maximizing our financial returns. We care most about about inspiring scientists to pursue translational research with greater resources and team coordination than they may find in a more traditional pathway.

Then don't misappropriate words or apply them in a contextually incorrect way, thinking you know better or have some keen insight into utilization.

Learn about how scientists actually work and meet them--don't twist the jargon around to suit your marketing needs.
