It’s a VR play. That’s the frothiest space in the Valley right now. Nobody understands it but everyone wants in. Any idiot could walk into a fucking room, utter the letters ‘v’ and ‘r’, and VC’s would hurl bricks of cash at them. By the

Ditto the kudos on the formatting. This piece really resonated with me. As for solutions, I have none. Hopefully someone smarter and more resourceful than me will be inspired by this talk.
