It seems to be common to do that... A friend of mine who was at a unicorn company in SF before it was a unicorn, had nice tables, furniture, and overpowered computers everywhere around the pathway from the entrance to the conference room. So when VCs and business angels came it looked very nice but everybody out of the pathway had nothing like that.

Potemkin office! I'd never really considered the office as a form of stage set for the performance of the appearance of work before.

Ya I know... Like people in the front were able to have a budget of ~2000 dollars per person (hello Thunderbolt Displays!) but for others it was not even more than 300 dollars.

It's not only for VCs, it's also for attracting new hires.
