Nah. More money / easier to raise = more startups = more world changing companies
The biggest problem of venture capital right now is we have made entrepreneurship too safe a career path. Starting a company should be for the crazy, for the obsessed. Instead, it is for the rational. Leave top tier university, raise VC. Own your own time, work on something interesting and pay yourself well. We need to go back to the ones who only do this because they cannot bare to not see their creation in the world.

Martyr Made is still holding steady as the #1 podcast on iTunes. I appreciate that people are willing to listen and think for themselves. Here is The Anti-Humans, about the Soviet conquest of Eastern Europe. Listener discretion is advised. I mean it. martyrmade.com/podcast-parts…
