Building something with your hands and intimately understanding how your business works as an entrepreneur is WILDLY different from being a VC-pawn-showman-CEO.
If there is no product and a VC gives you money, you are not an entrepreneur.
You are an asset in a VC’s portfolio.

Fewer billion-dollar companies.
More million-dollar companies.
Fewer tall firm structures - that spread you apart.
More flat firm structures - to keep you connected.
Fewer firms spreading themselves thin - standardizing.

You start your business and rack up a ton of hours getting stuck into your product.
Offering 1, offering 2, offering 3.
The constant drive for profit kicks in.
Result: you stop learning. 0 personal growth. Skillset stagnation.
