Bankers are almost the opposite of investors.
They loan the money deposited from people who've been guaranteed to get it back with a little interest. The money was deposited with the idea that there's little risk, so bankers won't risk it. They also look at a company from a deliberately pessimistic point of view to minimize the risk, so you must have good answers to their questions to demonstrate that you understand the issues. The old saying is that bankers will give you the money when you don't need it. When you completely let go of something, it comes to you and you have it.
