And YCombinator... is funded by a bunch of venture capitalists. Wealth funds.. are made up of wealthy investors. LLCs and Partnerships are just company structures and typically exist.. to invest the wealth of the proprietors when formed as an investment vehicle. Government backed funds.. generally don't invest in businesses. There are exceptions - strategic investments for wartime materials and such. Banks are also.. backed and run by wealthy individuals. This is less "big fish" focused because the bank itself is the owner of the assets and pays a salary to it's executives, but traditionally the person who ran and backed the bank WAS the local wealthy person. When we look at governments where there aren't really private investors (ie the wealthy) those governments just can't fund things quickly or effectively. Capitalism is an engine. Liquidity is momentum. Having liquidity leads to more liquidity and wealth, liquidity allows you to get other operations running. There is no magical government bucket of money. No magical government investors.
