  1. VCs have changed? by hirschma · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Back in the Web "1.0" days, VCs would never have settled for a payout that small. In fact, they'd rather have the company die - they were in the business of hitting grand-slams, looking for the billion(s) dollar(s) payout.

    This is "only" 10x. Does that mean that VCs have come to their senses? Anyone have any insight into this?
