There are a lot of large and small ironies at play, but the one that irks me the most is the interrelation between `investment` in the financial sense and `investment` in the dress sense, for the word has its root in the word `vestment` which means `clothing` (https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=investment https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=investment)
I keep asking myself how startup culture has gone so far off the rails in terms of professional business tropes, even while they court traditional financial backing to the point where the emperor's new clothes scenario is playing out in front of us and we barely even notice? One word: entitlement

I say the reason this all fell apart is because the guy is simply unlikeable and his shitty entitled-looking Keith Raniere-esque stage presence did nothing to help
