K, well I was on the first/founding team of digitalocean and owned strategy there from zero to just before IPO, we took a bunch of venture, heck if you'd seen our covenants in our lease lines, they made our venture debt look like kittens, yet we IPO'd, and I don't think very many in the digitalocean story are particularly unhappy? VCs do not try to "own companies" they try to exit businesses at a gain.
