I define a "VC" as, "a professional investor who deploys third-party funds into relatively early-stage companies."

In contrast, an Angel Investor is someone who invests their own capital.

I believe that over capitalizing companies too early often favors the VC. Testing is what helps determine whether you’re really on to something. Testing is what helps determine whether you’re really on to something. Will (many more) millions help you get five years into one?&#. It drives perverse incentives.

This has been especially true for angels or seed investors as there is a new thesis that less capital is needed to start Internet companies so more money is being spent at this phase of the funding lifecycle. companies did not participate in the first phase and consequently were not in the running for all that followed.
