You don't need every investor to believe that you can succeed. You only need one.

If you manage a team of 10 people, its quite possible to do so with very few mistakes or bad behaviors. If you manage an organization of 1,000 people it is quite impossible. At a certain size, your company will do things that are so bad that you never imagined that youd be associated with that kind of incompetence.

The right answer on raises is you have to be formal. You have to be formal to save your own culture.
