Nobody in SV can solve homelessness or figure out how to hire with diversity. But 11 electric scooter companies have raised VC funding. Oh, and a company that uses robots to make pizza. You wonder why there’s a tech backlash?
Hey if you have a startup idea with great unit economics for solving homelessness, you should go for it. I know a *ton* of VCs who would love to invest. Or were you mostly just looking to complain that technology investors aren’t magically fixing everything?

I think they might consider trying to fix problems that they helped cause.

Say, for example, promoting D&I and trying to legalize housing density in SF?

Vampire VCs would probably fund a business that turn homeless into meat pies — take them off the street and monetize them at the same time.

Tech investors have been pushing a mutated, unsustainable form of capitalism at the expense of local communities and your answer is to blame people for not coming up with more startups? Truly the hottest of takes.

like what?... click here to self-deport? with ads. i would love to be wrong thinking its a tough to define busn model that assists homeless, with great margins. but i promise to follow this space. and i bet there are some young fresh ideas that we should look at.

dumb and oversimplified and probably implemented already, but. there actually maybe more available in charity if defined, implemented and managed in a way that people can support. many a gofundme gets way more than asked because folk trust the source and have faith in destination
