Disclaimer: the cancer analogy is in no way meant to cause mental grief to anybody, I’ve lost enough family members to it that I realise such an analogy may be a step too far for some, but I feel that in this case its use is justified. If you do feel offended by this in any way then my apologies. One of my favorite VC bloggers wrote an article that I’m pretty sure was meant to be serious but that had me in stitches.
