Venture Capitalism "...gives VCs more leverage later. "
Post: https://mastodon.social/@enmodo/113366794801121527
"...I worked at a VC funded startup and they let it go for two years with no interest in us making revenue. I was told by the founder this was common and gives VCs more leverage later. If you've created something good then you'll need more money to stay in business and they get more equity for continued funding because you're desperate. And if you're mediocre you're never going to be a great exit so they cut their losses and move on."

"...gives VCs more leverage later. "
@jawarajabbi Aren't "grants" another kind of "free money" which is from a usually non-caring States that simply want to find out all the info and what they take advantage of from it and your research ?
You mentioned "philanthropic organizations" that would be help better than my description of a grant - but can you name some philanthropic organizations ?
Grant doesn't seem like a good free lunch either they really do give it almost blindly / without terms and conditions (?)... that's why I'd like an example.
Who doesn't want something back like any Vampire Empire which is like the Venture Capitalist / Vulture Capitalism people talk about (in fact the head Vulture being state so not much better)..
#VampireEmpire ?
#VentureCapitalism
#VultureCapitalism
Or just Vanilla #Capitalism as #Grants / paid research and development for the next dirty work from your ideas...
#philanthropy organizations ?
@conniptions @Gargron VC is either Vulture Capital, or if you're an old Goldman-Sachs fan, Vampire Capital.
@loveenergy@mastodon.social @Gargron Ok I'm listening.., can you tell me more about your offer to Gargron and how it would work out for the good?

@medlab Is there a download for this?
@ntnsndr I'm looking at the preview pdf now - if possible stay in touch also because the contact reminds me to continue finding out more about it... I'm interested in many things - often what others are doing to help support them - need help / have a wish-list for an energetic person to do?
#communities and our world and work spaces (people as the work)... #PEER SUPPORT
@ntnsndr #BeauifulSolutions #BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF IDEAS FOR CHANGING our #communities and our world.
"...so many examples all around us that give us hope and show us what is possible, many of which are already happening. Look around. Can you find a credit union? A food cooperative? A
community garden? What about a mutual aid project?
...
When they are connected to each other and given the resources they need to grow, the solutions that already exist in our #communities community can be the starting point for collective transformation.
The #exittocommunity of @opencollective to a user-governed nonprofit is big news for those of us who rely on it, including #Socialcoop members.
@blogdiva @hannu_ikonen@zeroes.ca
Peer Support as a thing is described by @violetmadder's post here: https://kolektiva.social/@violetmadder/110749773905305591
And I think we could as small circle do this more often than Trump or anything else (we could include it in our life but mainly help each other do our own dreams, together)....
What do you all think?

Lack of sleep is the root of many problems
...
Lots of further domino effects happen relative to sleep you've had...
When tired it is natural to:
- over-feed
- see and hear things while asleep
- react differently
- skip things you shouldn't
Overall lack of sleep is related to a domino of extra effects... over-consumption included.

Yes.
Weak Users= Weak everything else.
Can we make user to care? May be yes through education.

@amiya_rbehera Is her twitter consistently good / what good excerpts have you taken or have any examples?

@blogdiva Many good points (which I also re-posted parts of as quotes or boosted in whole) but also I'm wondering if Peer Support / doing something similar interests your towards a kind of long-way-round to getting everything everywhere, doing our own thing rather than feeding only bad games (almost create our own but also support it as circle /almost therapy but practical offers/needs also...
Though I'd shoot you that idea as a 'kind of' solution now you have a lot of the bad stuff laid out... All is probably needed to work around and go directly to the hearts of all problems... (people)...
Thanks, appreciate your reply on that.

"Free School" is movement from 60's 70's as education of life / practicing living and learning towards togetherness / DIY / Caring etc:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school
Mutuality, Education, and maybe Friendship can help WIN:WIN:WIN it for us all in this world ,,,or at least Fediverse first.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes #Caring #Politics #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites
...towards a more caring intelligent planet and better mindset of people...
Also here as a friendly person to encourage your own thoughts *and* action. More togetherness means more
Communication
to get there... Less means less possibility...
Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (both). I don't think there is another way around that without bad people and tools who pretend to do it for us killing things for profit while we pretend to be 'independent' and think we can undo things (more than let them cause more problems like #AI and people behind it who surely will).
I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.
Consider *developing people* in your work at the same time also - not just developing machine code, but decent people are the KEY to everything almost FOREMOST...
If life's people are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get as a cold Matrix system using computers and tech by Musk / Trump mostly since they have more leverage against everyone using banks also. In the end we lose with only tech! (yes computers are too fast and even #OpenSource and nice things get used badly and only can stop it by developing better people).
Working on better people is the better way at the end..
