I’m not sure what happened there but I’ve both experienced and seen so many startups where their initial leadership was great, then VC gets involved and completely destroys the long term trajectory of the company in exchange for short term growth. I genuinely think twitter and LinkedIn has ruined the brains of founders who follow fads after losing the goals and visions they had when they first started.

There've always been companies that crash and burn chasing unrealistic dreams of future profits. I think what Twitter and LinkedIn have created is the false perception that these kinds of things are representative of the industry. Another recent unicorn startup in the UK is Tripledot Studios, which has much more revenue and has made bigger investment deals than Builder.ai at its peak. But they're in mobile gaming and not AI trendy wave of the future stuff, so you don't hear so much about them.
