Hi Lawrence,
My opinion is this:
Credit worthiness is an important factor in venture funding only to banks (investment banks included), large VC firms and your referenced Prosper and similar P-2-P lending networks, where you must have a high credit score to even post. Angel Investors and smaller VC groups know well that " bad things happen to good people" and being entrepreneurial themselves, they also understand, that you do not hit a homerun each time you get up to bat. These exceptions to your rule, provide funding to start-up ventures knowing that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Sam Waldon would have never received their initial working capital if their credit was the deciding factor.
Please keep this in mind.
Thank You,
Tony Bright
