ROTFLMAO Hey, some VCs actually do think and some do not. Many play follow the leader and make large profits by doing so. A good thinking VC could help you with capital and connections and advice, if you needed those things. VCs always want to get some measure of control over your business and that often leads to problems. if your business is a service provided to individuals or companies, there is less potential for large upside growth than if you are developing a stand alone business that generates it's own brand and revenue.
