Founder Risk

When money flows from white male VCs to white male founders, then down to white male employees, what kinds of risks are really involved?

Cartoon showing three bubbles labeled 'white male VCs', 'white male Founders', and 'white male employees' with green arrows of money flowing between them. There are six arrows going out from the middle founders bubble with the ways they can change from being a founder to becoming a vc either by succeeding or failing, an arrow showing how founders often become 'serial entrepreneurs', an arrow showing that often founders who fail are given money to try again, and a final arrow for founders who really fail showing them becoming employees in the worst case scenario.
