I don't really get why all the hate around Zuck. I think he's just phenomenal and probably the best founder of this generation

So what is it? That's where things get complicated...

It's a mistake to try to raise money if you're not quite attractive enough to investors. They don't say no immediately. They suck up a lot of your time and hope, and then say no. It's a huge distraction and crushingly bad for morale.
