          @dansup all comes from the very human drives of greed, ego, power and overconfidence.

            @dansup so many stories of friends/associates who took the funding… and are now essentially being held financially hostage. Wild times.

              In the case of generative machine learning, the product wasn't even good to begin with!

                @dansup Right? VC stands for "Vampire Cabal". They cant create, they can only feed until you're a dead husk and they move onto new prey.

                  @dansup VC funding is the death of sustainable growth. The same for companies that are going public.

                  If your goal is to build a sustainable and ethical business don't go down that route. Nothing good will come of it.

                  Sustainability should be at the core. As it ties directly to is this thing I am doing solving a real world problem and is it solving it in a way that users are interested in - without me using VC capital to shove it down your throat to gain market dominance.
