If you had been a venture capitalist at the time Patzer was originally pitching Mint.com, would you

Question:

If you had been a venture capitalist at the time Patzer was originally pitching Mint.com, would you have had the same concerns as the venture capitalists at that time did? Why do you think the venture capitalists weren’t more forward thinking? Why do you think Patzer didn’t see the initial reaction to Mint.com as reason to either give up or to significantly modify his service?
