Donna, your posts are so good! This is another great one. What I always say, and I think this is episodes 17-19 in the VC Minute: "VC is a treadmill - it only gets faster and it only gets steeper. You're expected to raise, spend, grow, repeat." That's not a fit for most businesses. I know you see this more than anybody, which is why I appreciate your posts.

Love that analogy!
Just had this conversation today with founders. It's really such a huge misconception for founders on how common VC is.
