This is backwards to human history. marriage within the tribe, caste, religion, etc. was preferred. The “knobs” were set by the families and matchmakers. The “love” marriage is more of an anomaly. Rather I’d say many people can make a relat

I don’t know, I like your reasoning but isn’t it more complicated than that? Bootstrapping imo is the best way to go if you don’t wanna give up stake but the reality is that going to VCs makes much of the process much easier (funding). With

In eastern Asian cultures, eye contact is not made from a subordinate to someone up the hierarchy as a way to respect. In Islamic cultures, men and women should not make eye contact out of modesty and respect. “American” (really “white” cul
