Why Family Offices beat VCs when raising capital.

I have a strong preference against VCs and more towards like some family offices because they're more founder-friendly. There are some VCs that are founder-friendly and they do grow with the businesses. I'm not scrupulous or anything like that because I don't want to make it sound too bad, but I prefer working with family offices because there are some out there that are really good where, you know, we've got this one that they make sure that when they invest, they're partners and not just the overlords, where sometimes the VC route can get a little bit too overbearing, which is not to say it's a bad thing, but I think there's, there's a time and a place, and it just kind of depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for somebody who's going to invest in now and walk away and just kind of, you know, collect their checks whenever you sell, or if you're looking for a partner, it just kind of depends on what you're looking for. But I've got a preference with, with family offices and specific private equity.
