Is it a Bubble or Startup Fatigue?
- th0ma5 16y agoI wonder if it isn't something much more subtle, like the fear of success... such that a truly great idea that really helps people would ultimately be seen for its capital value only in the startup world. I would propose a solution being a non-profit that actually does the thing, but then a for-profit entity that capitalizes on the efforts of the non-profit. The idea could theoretically still have all the goodness, and any possible downsides or fears about being wildly successful would be absorbed by the for-profit entity. If the thing isn't successful, then also, the idea theoretically wouldn't go down with the ship, either.
