To be fair, any profession or field can be turned into a con. Just because deepak chopra advocates quantum healing doesn't mean the field itself is corrupt. MLM are by definition corrupt but startups aren't.

Maybe there is a tipping point where we start saying that "startup" is no longer a positive word.

Amount of wannapreneurs loosing money on scams, amounts of young adults exploited to work for below market rates for years, amount of scammers hiding under "startup" banner getting money from VCs or small investors are not "one Deepak using quantum healing".

I must not be understanding what you mean. The field of quantum healing is entirely corrupt. There is no such thing, it's all bunk. Do you mean that quantum physics isn't corrupt? Because I doubt anybody thinks that.
