This is how you start a real company with actual potential that investors will love.
But it doesn’t feed into the Silicon Valley career mill. So it doesn’t get talked about.
SV’s assumption is that you want to “get signed” and start your path. Acquihire by acquihire you build a career. Some outliers get rich and motivate the others.
The whole thing is a self-sustaining finance market. Failed founders provide the workforce, outliers provide the funds. And the mill keeps turning.
(the real winners are GPs and LPs, the VCs are just as much hamster wheel runners as the rest of us, just later in the career)
