@iris_meredith I suspect you hit the dual problems of a) they want to invest in *something* gods dammit and b) some of those nepobabies are *their* failsons gods dammit

@iris_meredith Are you suggesting to investors that, with a reasonable seed stake, you and they can extract money and valuables from these nepobaby failsons?

nepobaby failsons

@clew I'm trying to persuade them to support affordable, high-density housing close to the city centre. With good public transport connections.

@iris_meredith I wonder if this has ever not been the main demographic for start-ups 🫠

@AimeeMaroux Oh, probably, but we could make it less so and I think it'd benefit everyone.

@iris_meredith then what is the problem with this setup? If it's just ambitious start-up with no substance, then they will just burn their money, status quo breaks, they, you, both same now.
If it's a start up that actually works, they are no nepobabies, they are inventors. I don't think there is any problem with some being rich, and intelligent, or is there? -
@AimeeMaroux Oh, probably, but we could make it less so and I think it'd benefit everyone.
@iris_meredith Oh for sure! It would be nice if good ideas were not dependent on the potential to extract profit either.
