I do agree with the environment changing and less adaptable, less useful companies will fold and faux VCs will evaporate Which I think is good. The startup scene and VC scene was clearly about hype and growth. Of the last decades lots of innovation, but, what are the top companies from this time period? I am curious of analysis of ZIRP era startups that are really strong and would like a list to just peruse. There is of course what seems like the SoftBank effect, which seemed to exist to lose and push hype around the least capable businesses that fade when growth at all costs is the goal. Anyway, has been truly interesting to see how things play out and actually which technology has changed lives and the future of society.
