> Right, and as a result of this, the companies that
have capital can always beat out the ones that don't.
If your idea requires capital to execute and you don't have any then you can't execute it. How do you propose to change that?
> Who gets to decide which companies get capital? VCs. So that means that it's not the market that decides who wins and loses, it's VCs.
Who gets to decide which companies get capital? Venture capitalists. In other words, people with capital are the ones who decide which companies get capital. This is almost tautologically true.
But that is the market. The VCs fund the companies they think have the most promise. If you have a good idea but not capital then you convince some people with capital to fund you so you can execute it. That's what VC is.
What are you proposing as an alternative? One where raising capital is impossible and so you were either born with it or you're stuck working hand to mouth at a McJob forever because your idea takes more funding to execute that you can save in a lifetime as a wage slave?
