I wonder which model is better:
A: More diverse funding models at seed to sort startups into pursuing the right goals from start
B: Driving all viable startups towards billion dollar paths, and treating collateral damage (esp burned founders) as acceptable collateral damage

A option isn’t possible, let alone better.
B emerges because LPs can get A type predictable returns in public markets and other asset classes. VC / PE model is lottery by design to provide diverse, uncorrelated returns.

It’s basically impossible here too, unless you’re very clever

Goals for a startup may change as the idea evolves. If we are talking about the goals of an investor then B seems to be the rational choice..

emotionally, i want to lean into B. what's the point of doing it if you're not aiming to change the world?
Replying to
A is better for more. B is more better for few.
My niche is implementing for founders with tens of millions addressable market kind of products though so I'm biased.
