Why are folks so high on VC money, aside from having the network effects of a VC? Wouldn’t you rather get a bank loan if you have access to it without diluting equity?

In the US debt financing is really only available for small businesses or well established ones.

There is an exception: there are specialized debt providers who lend specifically to venture funded businesses. I’m not sure if this is even an option outside the west coast.
