VCs created #SurveillanceCapitalism; they’re not going to provide both the poison and the antidote. https://twitter.com/cpinto/status/978215044264742914 …

I am very much interested in finding out if there is an alternative to VC at early stages, if one does not have rich parents. Banks are risk-averse, so that’s likely to be a no. What remains is state and crowd, at the moment. By commons you mean crowdfunding platforms, right?

Not just crowdfunding (& definitely not equity-based crowdfunding) but taxes; commons money. E.g., the City of Ghent is supporting us to build our free and open, federated personal web site platform. Also, investment based on dividends, not exits.

I'll be the devil's advocate for a minute here: so tech giants benefit from the current situation, VCs clearly do too, the public doesn't really seem to care, and therefore the governments don't either. Who is there to fight for?
