I'm unsure of how you'd execute on it, but have you thought about rolling up many startups into 1? From there you could IPO, cross-own, etc.

I think the founders, especially the ones closest to an exit would need a good reason to change their path forward.

There'd be no shortage of talent, although acting as an organization mightn't be so attractive.

I think that's the key issue undermining the economic coherence of such an endeavour.

What did you think of the 6 points mentioned?

Would they offset the feeling of having a new someone for whom to report?
