  • “That their kind had lost its way—and, in the world of startups, money wasn’t flowing where it should anymore.”

    Where it SHOULD? In the world of capitalism, money “should” flow to where it grows. Period. This article is trying to tie venture capitalism to social entrepreneurship. They are not the same and has never been.

    • The problem is sustainability of capital growth. What the author suggests is that view of what’s valuable and has high growth potential, from the SV perspective, is myopic. Inbred, really.

      Besides, Snapchat? Really!?!?!? I get it. Lots of eyeballs. But christ. We should be embarrassed by our priorities.
