It's totally untrue that VCs are "funding services exclusively." Just within the Hadoop/Spark ecosystem there are Cloudera, Databricks, Hortonworks, Tachyon Nexus, and others. In storage there's MongoDB, Couchbase, Cockroach Labs, etc. In every infrastructure area there are many very significant VC-backed open-source companies.
