I do not get the fuss about VCs. Every VC has a niche and understanding of a subject. It does not mean if a VC laughs u off that your idea is bad.
The ideas might be good, every idea is good, it depends how smart are you planning and chalking way out. How quickly u realize what u r doing is wrong and spot another opportunity.

I found this article really negative. To be sure, I'm on the idea side of things. I think for these VCs to share these "bad ideas" is poor taste. Most of us idea people already think the guys with "other peoples money" are arrogant to begin with. Heck they don't have the ideas themselves and they use other people's money to invest. Where's the challenge in that? I've seen the numbers for success among VCs. Its not impressive - and how about their lack of diligence in deals like Entellium, CountMeIn, and the thousands of poor choices in the late 1990's. Stop laughing and spend a little more time trying to see the value in all ideas. How about a little help instead of closing the door to laugh? The club is a little too small.
