I used to cover VC when it was run by actual grownups who had experience in the markets - the Robertson Stephens/Thomas Weisel/Richard Testa era - so watching all these millennial bros bumbling around w/money after they finish their daily pelotons is so .... like, what is this?

I cannot believe these guys control millions of dollars. I mean, that's true of most money workers, but seriously, these guys? It's chilling. They seem to awake to competitive market dynamics each morning with the eyes of newborn children.

And you may argue, "oh well, it's useful for founders," but have you met founders? They do their homework. They know all this. These VC bros just love the sounds of their own keyboards. And they still fund almost exclusively other bros.

FinTwit used to be out there debating the structures of total return swaps and the comparative structure of securitized assets and VC Twitter is like "groceries are a big market! Dooo dooo dooo"pic.twitter.com/eAWYGlCiwE

I really think we need to consider the fact that so many VC-backed companies fail not bc of luck but because VCs appear to be profit-demanding hamsters who keep hitting the feed bar for money and do not know very much about how businesses work and grow in the long term.

I rest my case!* These VCs are the same clowns who started the gig economy to "disrupt" "innovation" (read: rob labor of its wages) and look how that turned out.https://twitter.com/andrewpurc/status/1218866666630795269?s=20 …

Haha, this thread has started the first grumbles of a quiet uprising among founders and entrepreneurs. I have never been prouder of my ability to be an incidental rabble-rouser. Founders of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your exploitative Series A term sheets!
