That’s an interesting perspective. Related to it, I often feel like entrepreneurs in tech don’t realise how much their innovation is restricted by capital markets.

OP’s startup is actually a great example of this. Medical debt is indeed a troubling problem in the USA, but OP’s solution is yet another financial product, something that can get funded. VCs can’t fund single-payer healthcare policy entrepreneurship even if that’s actually what would solve the medical debt problem.

That's a very good point! I agree!
