风投基金怎么会不做更靠谱的技术尽调（甚至根本不做）？他们信的是人脉和履历——根本不在乎技术细节。Randall Stross 的《EBoys》里有一章非常精彩，讲的是 TriStrata——靠着号称“不可破解”的加密技术这种纯属扯淡的说辞就融了数百万美元。（那一章节选在这条消息底部：http://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/april00/0460.html……
How do venture funds not do better technical due diligence(or any at all)? They trust people and credentials -- it's not about the technical details.

关于 Webvan 那个时代我记得两件事：1) Benchmark 是如何推进/争论他们的投资的（记录在 https://www.amazon.com/eBoys-Inside-Account-Venture-Capitali...）；2) 就在 Webvan 倒闭的同一时期，FreshDirect 其实做得风生水起，但纽约以外根本没人听说过他们的成功，因为 Webvan 扑街得实在太惊天动地了。
Two things I remember from the webvan era- 1) how benchmark navigated / debated their investment (chronicled in https://www.amazon.com/eBoys-Inside-Account-Venture-Capitali...), 2) at the precise time that webvan was failing, fresh direct was succeeding but no one outside of NYC heard about their success because webvan failed so spectacularly.
