I've finally decided to weigh in on the 'VC Disruption' thread, in part because one of my earlier posts seems to be heavily cited in the discussion. A couple of caveats before I proceed.

It is an interesting thread, and I am interested in to where it goes. It's interesting -- certainly my Web 2.0 take-away is that it really doesn't make as much sense to prepare a business for venture capital so much as come up with an aggressive rampout and marketting strategy. Most of the costs can stay pretty low -- right, Decius?
