Call me picky but the language in the titles of these types of articles indicates to me that the authors don't really understand investing.
Thalmic didn't "get" $14.5mil as if they were chosen by some lottery or via some contest. They raised money by creating what, ostensibly, is or could be a viable business (whatever anyone's opinion is, the investors are betting that indeed it's a viable business), and are partnering with some investors to make it a reality.
I've seen a lot of titles like "gets" or "nabs" or "grabs"--that doesn't do justice to the process or the relationship in my mind.
