When Millions Change Hands Between Strangers
Here's a truth that sounds absurd when you say it out loud: venture capital operates on the premise of handing millions of dollars to people you barely know. Yet this seemingly irrational system powers the innovation economy, turning garage ideas into billion-dollar companies. What makes this dance work? A delicate web of trust, shared assumptions about value creation, and unspoken community norms that both parties must honor-even when things get rocky. The relationship between founders and investors resembles a marriage arranged for strategic reasons: both parties enter with high hopes, but fundamental differences in what they want from the partnership create predictable friction points. Founders dream of building something meaningful-a product that solves real problems, a team they're proud to lead, sustainable growth they can control. Investors, meanwhile, need exceptional financial returns to justify their fund economics. When a company thrives, these goals align beautifully. When performance stumbles, the cracks appear immediately.
