I was thinking about this the other day. As I see it, American companies and probably many companies in the world have a really f'ed up attitude about how employees fit into the mix. I don't see how the cost of entrepreneurship could be nearly as high as it is. Sure, from the point of view of an average person, starting a business is risky and should lead to potentially high reward. But how many average people are able or willing to start a business at all nowadays? In reality, the sorts of people who end up starting businesses are those for whom starting a business is not as risky e.g. people who are wealthy or whose families are wealthy or who are just burning VC money. The risk is lower and so the cost of entrepreneurship should be lower. Also, it seems there's a lot of talk in tech about wanting to use the great wealth accumulated to help the world or whatever. So then why not just start with the actual people in tech and not just the founders? Why act so uncharitable to the people directly working for you?
