IIRC, out of 110mn, 100mn is debt. Also, the screenshot looks made up as the timestamps doesn't make sense.

+1 seems fake, sad to see founders posting these kinds of posts.

For your information btw. In that $110M, $100M is debt. Only $10M is equity.

I have no thoughts on this. How does the debt part matter if the company has raised.

Let's say they gave away 10% equity in this round. If they would have raised $110M in equity, their valuation would be $1.1B. But if they raised $10M in equity, the valuation would be $100M.

In trying to post a redemption story arc, he himself got trolled big time.

She/her kind of women are always this egoistic.
She could had simply ignored or wrote a polite rejection.

What's your anti-startup

The Startup that you had an offer from but did not join, and then it went big? (Let's take a word from VCs, how they like to use anti portfolio lists on their sites - cos they got an opportunity to enter but missed)
