Which huge companies were spawned from the last few decades of startups raising VC? I think almost all the biggest companies today? Here's a list I grabbed of the highest market-cap companies: 1. Apple 2. Microsoft 3. NVIDIA 4. Alphabet (Google) 5. Amazon 6. Saudi Aramco 7. Meta Platforms (Facebook) 8. Berkshire Hathaway 9. TSMC 10. Tesla Of this list, here are "startups" that raised VC money: 1. Apple 2. Microsoft 3. NVIDIA 4. Alphabet (Google) 5. Amazon 6. Meta Platforms (Facebook) 7. Tesla So more than half of the top-10 biggest companies today were these kinds of startup "experiments". And of course, these are just the biggest companies, and don't include many things I interact with on a day-to-day basis, which are incredibly valuable to me, e.g. Netflix, ChatGPT, YouTube (part of Alphabet but important enough to warrant mentioning), etc.
