Some VC, "When you play it safe you nearly always lose."

To understand what's really being said here, you have to replace the word "you" with the actual antecedents. So: "When you play it safe you nearly always lose" should read: "When founders play it safe VCs nearly always lose."

But founders often win.

Money quote.
