A VC investment is more like a gamble and less like an investment. I'm not the only one that sees it that way.

After 15 years of working in startups in the Bay Area, I've learned they are gambles, not investments.

You've learned wrong, VC is by definition a category of investments and you attempting to relabel it as gambling is an attempt to persuade via rhetorical device rather than via sound argument.
