Oh man this whole worked at Apple vibe is so off putting. I am sure he is very talented but somehow VCs think working at a company = being able to make a similar company which is absolutely false.

similar in some superficial way? sure, especially with enough VC money to burn.

Theranos' Holmes also successfully copied the plain black turtleneck part.

VCs got bamboozled into this whole unicorn hunt during the big SaaS boom (when everything was the Uber of some sector), but the low hanging fruits are mostly gone.

But it's their (mostly the limited partners') money, and there's usually enough fools to offload stuff so that even the clueless funds survive a decade.
