South Korea, Chile, Brazil. All have public markets for sure but they don’t dominate the economy.

Not a VC but if I was I would never click a DocSend link. And VCs hold a lot of power — sure they are all chasing deal flow but if they just responded “I don’t click pitch links, send me a PDF” they would get their PDF 99 times out of 100.

Not really, there’s a fourth factor not listed here, which is government vs. private. A government project will, for political reasons, need to support universal access, and a public transit system will have a hard time telling a person “yo
