Some reasons to involve a VC no longer exist. You will get an adviser and someone with a network and skin in the game, both strong reasons - but thinking of some others:<p>There was a time when capital was needed to hire an army of devs, rack a ton of servers, and when startup patterns were less established & more experimental.<p>Now you can use open source libraries, get advice from podcasts, build your CRUD with AI, and follow well worn paths to success. Amazing what small focused teams can do!
