I don't see an issue with my wording here. You receive money, or "venture capital", which you should spend on talent acquisiting, marketing, you-name-it. If I were to assume that VC comes without strings attached, I'd have used the appropriate wording.

I think the more common term is to "raise money". But at the end, you receive money that you should spend. With strings attached, of course. That’s the nature of VC.

Yes but that's pretty common and in no way an unfair advantage.
