Reply to comment by fordanjairbanks in Apis Cor may be America's most advanced 3D printing construction company, yet it is shunned by traditional capital markets; 8 years after being founded, it still relies on crowdfunding websites. by lughnasadh

If they can't get VC funding it's for only one of two reasons. They don't like the terms VCs have offered or their business model doesn't scale to the point where VCs are interested.

VCs are extremely competitive with one another and even a big juggernaut like Blackrock can't bully smaller competitors around.

Nonono you don’t understand. Blackrock has “put the word out” so no VC will invest in this profitable company because it will be so wildly successful that it will actually damage Blackrock’s investments in residential housing.
