@kevinparaguay @vic Yes. VC pumps a bunch of money and gets things looking super clean while original owner stays on a few years and trains new staff. VC fully takes over and doesn't put much in for a long time or ever again. Company either thrives or dies depending, but VC makes back their money usually a few times over. Meanwhile original owner opens an unrelated business using all of his connections and capital and can scale 10x faster. If you do it twice, you're into true big money territory.
