Are Venture Capitalists Really the Only Path to Raising Money?

NDVC founder and CEO of ND hackers says venture capital is still the only path to success. He argues that if you don't have to ask permission from an investor to stay in business there's a much higher likelihood that you'll be around long after that press release is old news. "I think it's just so ingrained that people take it for granted that that's the only way to do it," he adds.
