Read a book on tech entrepreneurship. The “goal” of most startups is to get purchased by a big tech company. That’s utterly fucked, and tacitly demonstrates the problem.

It’s fucked that people start companies because they have the safety net of possibly being acquired even if the business doesn’t work out?

It’s suspicious that long term growth into an independent business isn’t realistically discussed as an option.

Because a lot of those business are only possible through monumental amounts of work and/or investment and selling is way easier than being an owner-operator for years under very probable risk of failure?
