Traction.

I don't think any VC worth the time is going to sit around nitpicking how much Nix matters to their offering if they're making increasing amounts of money.

Depends who’s pretending to be a VC, or accelerator

It works best to post your "solution" on hacker news and get roasted by ALL the commenters who have a clue while you have none.

> What works better to raise VC (which for many is the goal)[?] A nix wrapper or a deployment platform

Well, if I wanted VC money for this, even if I was buliding a simple nix wrapper, I'd still tell the VCs that it was a deployment platform. (to be clear I have no opinion on TFA or any idea whether this is what they're doing)
