The irony of VC investments is hard to miss. On one hand, we see millions being poured into 10-minute food delivery services—often delivering highly processed, unhealthy food. On the other hand, the same investors are backing healthtech startups trying to solve the obesity epidemic that this very convenience accelerates. We’ve seen this cycle play out in the US, and yet we continue to treat it as a “proven playbook” for success. Is validation only about what has worked before, regardless of its long-term impact? At times, VC theses feel like a mix of contradictions—funny, yet deeply concerning. #Startups #Health #VentureCapital #QuickCommerce
