And if they "bought out" this amazing cancer cure, they'd make money in the high billions. Which is the statement makes no sense, and sets of my BS detector.
Yeah, but why would the inventor even want to sell to the venture capitalists - maybe he would and maybe he wouldn’t. They would be guaranteed to lose millions/billions on their endeavor with no assurance that they could buy rights to the new guy’s invention. You assume a lot. And, believe it or not, some people cannot be bought.
