Oh ffs, why do I even look into these things? I think I’m being harsh and then it’s always worse than I thought:

FairPhone has taken venture capital.

fairphone.com/wp-content/uploa

They’ve been invested in by, among others, Invest-NL (currently three exits, all IPOs¹) and Quadia (also three exits, all acquisitions²).

I would just like it if for once – fucking once – it wasn’t just about making money.

*sigh*

I'm not a fan of vulture capital pretending to embrace co-operative principles.

Given the option, I would choose to shop at an independent whole owned shop or a worker owned cooperative over some bros brick & mortar playground any day:

I won't be spending money at Teamshares companies because their goal of "80% employee ownership within 20 years" seems ridiculous to me when the average time to exit is less than half of that.

I'm exploring the Dutch startup ecosystem at the moment. Today I looked at Techleap's Startup Finder, which has Dealroom.co's data on Dutch startups free of charge.

More info: techleap.nl/blog/discover-the-

I wanted to see what applications people are currently building with LLMs -- I searched for companies tagged with "generative AI" and "natural language processing".

Great musings on the latest 'Tech Won't Save Us' podcast episode: 'Abolish Venture Capital'. But also highly amusing, e.g. understanding VCs as "truffle pigs" and as "parasites". 😀 Features Edward Ongweso Jr. and definitely worth a listen! 👍

@carnage4life Agree. VCs were the biggest culprit enabling crypto. It’s amazing how they are never considered a problem, don’t get sued, are never investigated and get away unscathed irrespective of the bad decisions they make. They are enablers for many things that have gone awry … ride-hailing, crypto, Wework …

I know Travis Kalanick is successful. But in this video he really doesn’t seem to know his stuff youtu.be/VM . He structured his presentation as a FAQ , and yet he needs to look at the slides to remind himself of the answers to his own ’s. ?? having said that, can somebody help me give a pitch to him? We’re going to do a tour for for CogSci Apps Corp.

PS. They won’t necessarily put you out of business because they have a better product or anything like that. They will put you out of business because they’ll have a minimum of $5 million to burn to undercut you and starve you out.

Do I want it?

Is it by a startup?

No.

(A ‘startup’ is not just any new small business. It’s a temporary venture capital funded company that must either fail fast or exit. An exit is where you’re either bought by Big Tech or become Big Tech through an IPO. To understand this better, if you have a sustainable small company, a startup is what will put you out of business.)
