Look, the startup world right now is honestly a bit of a headache for investors. The biggest frustration is that even if a company looks successful on paper, the money is basically locked in a vault for ten-plus years, leaving everyone "paper rich" but cash poor. On top of that, investors are tired of founders who ghost them as soon as the check clears, only to pop back up when the bank account is nearly zero. Then you’ve got the AI craze, where investors feel like they’re just subsidizing Big Tech’s electric bills because so many startups are just "wrappers" for someone else's tech with no real moat. It’s also just awkward and painful right now because valuations are crashing, leading to messy fights over who owns what, all while lawyers are breathing down their necks about data privacy and ethics. It’s definitely not just "picking winners" anymore; it’s more like being a high-stakes hall monitor for a group of very expensive, very stressed-out companies.

IPL teams make losses on paper — and that’s the strategy. They’re not failing. They’re marketing, building brand value, saving tax, and creating long-term fanbases. It’s not a cricket game. It’s a business league.
