VC funding isn’t charity, investors want a return. Then the enshittification starts.

Not that hard to understand really.

@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.

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

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