I am shocked to learn that someone who has a large number shares in unlisted tech companies is keen on others investing in these stocks.

More seriously nobody really knows what is a good investment these days. Years of zero or negative interest rates have broken the old models and nobody knows what is to come.

I suspect VC with blogs want to use name recognition to get involved in more deals. When a startup gets hot, they're the ones competing.
