Is this even possible? With how savvy most VCs are about guarantying a return from the companies they invest in, it's hard to imagine they'd leave this very obvious strategy open to exploitation.
I mean, yeah, you might never raise another round if you screw a VC, but if you screw them out of hundreds of millions of dollars, would it matter?

It's possible, it's just a terrible idea in most cases. Most VCs don't have enough control to prevent it, but it's considered a really scummy move and will kill future prospects.
