Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“Honestly speaking, I tell founders their idea is 'interesting' when I mean it's terrible, 'bold' when I mean it's delusional, and 'a bit early for us' when I mean I'd rather invest in a lemonade stand. The only honest phrase in VC is 'the partnership couldn't get aligned,' which means I couldn't convince anyone else to join my bad judgment.”
