The arguments against what you're saying remind me a lot of the arguments against self-publishing on Amazon, etc. years ago.

Trad pub authors (and the industry itself) lambasted self-published authors on every topic from quality to them not publishing 'real' books, but it slowly dawned on everybody that self-publishing was not only possible, but easier and more profitable with more upside for a broader spectrum of writers. And the gatekeepers (the industry that hoarded and controlled the profits and distribution) were left scrambling to adjust. Weirdly, many still believe they need 'permission' from agents and trad pub houses to publish 'real' books.

Loved how you broke down the VC funding model, makes so much sense this way. Glad I’m following the small bets pathways to having a business
