Not that it's really an option, but after reading various profiles of Elon Musk, I'd be really hesitant to take funding from him. This seems like it's pretty much his M.O.

Yeah, on that note, it'd be nice to make a database of VCs and make profiles based on how they treat founders based on publicly available information. Just look at their track records and that will help you decide whether or not to take funding.

thefunded.com is sort of that.

Awesome. Thanks for the tip.

"...but a company spokesperson, Darryl Siry, told us there's no reason to worry."

Whenever something has to be said by a company spokesman, you know something's up.
