Comment on VCs don't care if you're nice, they want founders who take risksparent

They would if you had a really good low risk deal for them to invest in, like if you had a history of great successes, or if your product is already famous and you just need money to ramp up.

At that point why take VC money over any other kind of investors?

Because other investors wont line up and lick your boots? Not sure why that would matter, but it wasn't my idea, I guess some just like attention and seeing people grovel before you makes them happy and take VC funding when they probably could have gotten a regular loan instead.

VCs are often connected to other founders, or have a greater network of contacts, which they can tap into to promote your product. They can give you money AND exposure.
