@rzeta0@mathstodon.xyz There are many studies that show that most entrepreneurial startup financing comes from the ‘3 Fs’ defined as ‘Families, Friends and Fools.” Not from venture capitalists or traditional financial institutions. There’s a deeper ethical question about risking the wealth of the 3Fs when they aren’t so affluent already that the losses won’t have material impact. @petrikas@mastodon.art
