> There are legit complaints about VC's as a whole, but being risk averse is not one of them,

I strongly disagree. Most VCs are very risk averse. They just pattern match to previous success, or "wait for someone to take the lead".

Only the top VCs are risk takers -- most of the rest just follow on for the ride.

Angel investors are much more willing to take risks than VCs.
