Venture capital has been crucial for driving innovation in tech. Without VC funding, we wouldn't have giants like Google, Facebook, or Amazon. They take big risks on unproven ideas that traditional banks won't touch. That said, the focus on hypergrowth and quick exits can sometimes lead to unsustainable business practices. It's a double-edged sword.

VCs play a crucial role in the innovation ecosystem, but their influence has become too dominant. They tend to follow trends, creating funding bubbles in specific sectors (remember the dot-com boom?). This can actually stifle true innovation by funneling too much money into overhyped areas while neglecting others.

I feel like the VC model has warped people's perception of what success looks like. Not every business needs to be a unicorn or disrupt an entire industry. There's value in creating sustainable, profitable businesses that serve their communities well, even if they don't have hockey stick growth.

In fields like AI and biotech, VC funding is absolutely essential. These areas require massive upfront investment before any return is possible. Without VCs willing to take these big risks, a lot of groundbreaking research and development simply wouldn't happen. They're not perfect, but they're necessary for certain types of innovation.
