Perhaps the most insightful comment I ever read on Hacker News went something like,
One of the big problems for startup founders who are immigrants is not knowing what they’re expected to lie about, and what they’re absolutely forbidden to lie about. If you cook the books, you go to jail for fraud. But if you’re very honest when a VC asks you, ‘Who else is thinking of investing in you?’ and you answer, ‘It’s only you, no one else is interested’ — then you’re never going to get investment. You’re expected to lie and say, ‘Oh, there’s a lot of interest.’
I can’t find the exact comment but I found that very insightful.
