Nothing in that article supports the OP's claim that they're being "shunned" and have to turn to retail investors as a last resort. They probably just didn't want to give up however much equity traditional investors were asking for and/or they want to remain small and boutique until the technology has had a chance to mature.

Yeah I'm always highly skeptical when someone makes a claim like that. If there's actually good money in it, people will jump on the opportunity; you won't get shunned.

I always say it like this: if whatever thing being sold by whatever shady person/company was so great, you'd be able to buy it at Wal-Mart, because that's how you get rich selling stuff.

Walmart has totally predatory relationships with almost everyone in the supply chain. There are lots of great things that aren’t sold at Walmart because Fuck walmart
