Dear Startup, What If The VCs Don’t Come?

Thanks Editi, for asking this question and making this Saturday’s edition possible.

Ordinarily, I’d just RT, but I noticed a couple interesting interactions with the tweet, and I thought I’d dive into his mentions.

First, here’s the tweet that started everything –

Dear startup, great job! But what if the VCs don't come?

— Editi Effiòng (@EditiEffiong) April 30, 2013

Then everything else.

Choko, the meanie

There is a redemption camp for that @EditiEffiong: Dear startup, great job! But what if the VCs don't come?"

Unus, the hopeful

Then just hope you're strong enough to make it on your own. @EditiEffiong Dear startup, great job! But what if the VCs don't come?

He’s right. I don’t know where we got the idea, but not every startup needs to raise VC.

Tell us what you think. Are we all waiting for VC? Why? What if they don’t come?
