Sure, if you magic up a startup with VC funds you suddenly have it easier than a small, bootstrapped business.
Startups almost never start with a round of VC though. There are almost always months or years of the same experience as a bootstrapped business (ie: extreme uncertainty, no money to pay yourself, etc).
Most startups don't manage to raise VC, and most startups that raise VC fail with no acquihire.
