That is fine by me. What benefit have we gotten from these Unicorn other than enriching the founders and lenders. I have seen no real benefit from Silicon Valley for decades. Seems at this point, Silicon Valley is acting kind of like a Ponzi Scheme.
Maybe because the products suck and there are very few business models for software? I'm gonna focus on the software product segment, and my evaluation might be flawed, but I think that software is an inherent race to the bottom for three important reasons: 1) Dependence on proprietary software is at best a short-term support boon, and in the majority of cases a crippling liability when the vendor changes support ter…

Those did not emerge from these unicorns, except maybe OpenAI. (Tesla was already public prior to this. Smartphones didn't come from a VC-backed startup.)
