This is the culture Tech VC encourages so this is the culture we all get. SSND no?

How is that not "VC culture" tho'?

You don't get big without VC - you're right about culture though.

Mostly SV bros still hell bent on VCs and that whole culture.

In fairness, that's because VC culture is a parasite on normal society.

Being a VC.

Not much point in lionizing VC culture if y'all keep workin there

I'm out of this loop, but I still struggle to consider: In the world of tech (which scales) what good is VC? As in, what companies/products/services have come about and existed in a healthy way due to this process? Why should I not cheer the death of all of this?

Of course-- anyone with eyes can see that VC hustle culture is a grift.

VC doesn’t have to be tech.

What VC?

damoncali | karma 3381 | avg karma 2.21 · | 2011-11-10 13:55:10+00:00

What vc?

Often feels like everyone is a VC today.

dehrmann | karma 14936 | avg karma 2.33 · | 2023-04-26 04:52:18

Much of this also applies to VC.

d3ntb3ev1l | karma 268 | avg karma 3.44 · | 2020-03-01 20:53:29+00:00

VCs represent everything wrong about technology. You need them like you need the Mafia.

bamdadd | karma 83 | avg karma 3.77 · | 2012-03-20 14:08:24+00:00

I agree vcs is important

killface | karma 277 | avg karma 1.48 · | 2019-11-22 02:49:39+00:00

with how much love VCs get here, i'm pretty sure that's an accurate sentiment.

faangiq | karma 251 | avg karma 0.45 · | 2022-07-30 11:42:40

VCs gotta get theirs.

jtode | karma 990 | avg karma 1.68 · | 2023-08-24 04:50:22

It's an attempt to whip up some VC exuberance because SV doesn't do tech, it does money.

jackcosgrove | karma 3623 | avg karma 3.38 · | 2020-07-26 03:49:52+00:00

I think VC is a combination of status seeking, fun, and genuinely trying to advance things. Making money, not so much.
