What's the point of VC investment if the innovative products that are funded are snuffed out by large companies? Might as well not bother and save everyone some time.
- scarface74 4y agoThe point of VC investments by the VCs is to invest in companies and make a healthy return when the company exits. You didn’t think they were doing it for the good of society? Once any founder accepts VC funding, all of the talk about “vision” and “impact on society is also null and void”
- krferriter 4y agoThey can make a healthy return even if the company isn't sold off and gutted in an acquisition.
- scarface74 4y agoWho are you to tell the company how much they “should” make? The company was valuable to Adobe because of “synergies”.

- gretch 4y agoThey did make the world a slightly place. Ppl use their tools and are happy. What’s the better alternative? That it never existed?
