Venture Capital is a !@%#$+ disease. Build companies the old fashioned way. Build a product that people want to buy, then sell it to them. Hire people when you have enough profit to afford them.
(Yes I recognize some business require huge up front capital and aren't possible without VC. They're the exception not the norm.)
