VCs have too much capital at hand and don't know how to deploy it all.
This is on the back of epic wealth inequality.
I don't know why Jony Ive is seen to be worth billions, but he's obviously not, he's just another shill in the ivory tower.
- joshstrange 1y ago> I don't know why Jony Ive is seen to be worth billions, but he's obviously not. Agreed. If it was the only option it would have been worth it to Apple to pay him billions to _leave_. His last 5-10 years at Apple were marked by him ruining a number of products.

- SimianSci 1y agoBroadly, you're right, but again, there is an incredible amount of inequality at the moment, so while 90% of VCs might be strapped for cash, ther other 10% have so much that they are struggling to find worthy investment vehicles that can grow their money-pile. Its a dillema they are in because nothing can justify the volume of investment enough without a sufficiant potential for growth, so any venture that even hints at big enough return, will find itself flush with cash it wont realistically know what to do with.
