For God's sake, please price your products and services appropriately and make money from the start. Then, you won't have to beg vulture capitalists for scraps. If you raise money, those vultures become your bosses. Why are you even starting a company when you'll be enslaved to vultures that will push you short-term gains, forced growth, exit and all the other BS. Be your own person and say no to Vulture Capital. That's how you become independent, free and able to work on something you like on your own terms.
This is a bad comment for Hacker News, first because it calls names ("vulture", "mafia"), which the site guidelines specifically ask you not to do [1], and second because it's unsubstantive.

Thoughtful critique is good—especially when backed by concrete experience—but generic denunciations are boring and lower the discourse below what we're hoping for here. Empty riler-uppers are particularly to be avoided.
