Top 10 lies of venture capitalists and investors:

  1. “I liked your company, but my partners didn't.”
  2. “We are patient investors who want to help you build a great company.”
  3. “If you get a lead, we’ll invest too.”
  4. “There are no companies in our portfolio that conflict with what you’re doing.”
  5. “Show us some traction, and we’ll invest.”
  6. “We love to co-invest with other firms.”
  7. “We’re investing in your team.”
  8. “We have lots of bandwidth to dedicate to your company.”
  9. “This is a plain, vanilla term-sheet.”
  10. “We will get other companies in our portfolio to work with you.”
  11. "We are actually preparing the second round of investments, you might fit in "

Japp, this was a lie also there are 11 not 10 lies. Anyway when money talks, nobody pays any attention to the grammar...
