The dangers of informal VC money is another factor that drives experienced managers away from that strategy.
Put simply, large companies are inefficient at almost anything not utterly core. Look at Microsofts famous "the start menu took a year".

Things like initial enthusiasm, number of people who might be affected, likelihood of them complaining or ability to veto, degree of risk, reversibility - all of which means gravity at a large company is much higher.
