That's definitely a possibility. I might be misjudging the situation.

The feedback we've been receiving is that VCs believe, that even with our growth, we can not beat our competition as they are much more heavily funded and have a lot of mindshare at the moment.

However, even with insane growth, if your CEO does not pitch with conviction, he will not convince a VC to invest. It's as much about passion and conviction than it is just about numbers.

Is this CEO making enough to get by on?

Often founder fatigue hits hardest when there is little money to do anything but try to recoup. Can he get a raise to increase his interest?
