I agree and disagree. Venture capital has become somewhat more risk-averse in recent years, mainly because the costs of building software products has become so low. But there is a lot of innovation to made in the physical world, which is currently underrepresented in investment portfolios. On the other hand, I'm not sure the hyperloop is a good fit for a VC investment. Maybe someone out there will be willing to take a huge risk with limited upside, but it does not fit VC theory, which is still a business at the end of the day. It seems like the appropriate funding channel for something like should be the government, at least in a perfect world. Otherwise, major players in the industry are the next most relevant, perhaps companies that already manage toll roads and infrastructure.
