Bounties would be much better than parents, across the board. In a world with too much consumption and work for no good reason, where new products fight for limitted demand, parents in theory even are solving the wrong problem. Bounties mean the goals are defined up front, and the reward for putting a round peg in a round whole is you don't even need a business plan, equity-based investment, or any of that other crap. Take some funding to hit the bounty, everyone cashes out, move on to the next thing. All the benefits of "aquisition culture" without the problem of concentrated ownership. (The bounty giver should ideally be the state and not own the thing.)
