Dear SaaStr: Do VCs Favor Investing in Psychopaths? Of course not, not intentionally. But … Sort of, unintentionally. VCs have to invest in simply crazy founders. “Good” crazy. Crazy folks who will do whatever it takes to build a Unicorn, not sell at $50m, not sell at $200m, keep going, even when logic 100 times will say otherwise.
