No it isn’t a sustainable business, because the competitive landscape, which it has to be sustained in, would now also include this group out to get you for whatever reasons, for some unknown period of time.

That’s exactly my point? VCs distort the market.

“If my product is worth $5 and I sell it for $6…” Is not a sustainable business in that specific competitive landscape.

VCs don’t even need to exist for this to occur.

So I didn’t mention anything regarding VCs and market distortions or lack thereof?
