Do you support sustainability, social responsibility, tech ethics, or trust and safety? Congratulations, you’re an enemy of progress. That’s according to the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.

    That’s a bit myopic. VC is just a fancy word for large financial backer.

    You can basically credit the entire age of discovery (America, Australia, etc.) to “VC” in the form of kings and wealthy elite financing voyages.

    I think modern VC goes awry when they become defacto decision makers for the venture in question.
