I would appreciate a list of web3 projects that don’t have and explicitly don’t want to have any VC involvement (or big company involvement, as it would mean the same thing).

I am interested in learning what that liberty it might bring to those projects.

look at the activitypub ecosystem then, where no one needs permission to become a participant, and vc's refuse to even acknowledge its existence.

the fediverse is in no way related to this web3/blockchain bullshit. It's actually more related to the original idea of web 3.0 as semantic web due to the usage of similar protocols e.g. json-ld.

You'll find that VCs, the shortlist of usual suspects, have their hands in almost all web3 projects.

And even if they missed one, they'll get in later anyway by simply buying the token. Big capital always wins.

I'd be interested in that list as well. All of the major / currently most popular ones seem to be in bed with a16z: https://a16z.com/portfolio/#crypto
