@starbreaker @aral yet, data shows that most startups are *not* VC funded. most are funded by friends, family. Many are bootstrapped.
Even in the US, most startups don't get VC funding.
but Aral's "algorithm" that “Made by startup? don't want it" is a very bad generalization towards a group of people who try their best to solve problems (for them and others).
Rejecting Big Tech makes more sense than rejecting startups.

@aral that's not the definition of a startup. many startups are not VC funded.
A Startup is a new small business with the potential to grow big.
