there's a "race to the bottom" problem too. if one VC starts pouring money into a sector they'll - temporarily - crowd out the small firms. hence all funds are incentivized to "go big or go home".



They also crowd out the small firms that were doing just fine before the VC funded startup entered the eco-system, spoils it for everybody and then goes bust leaving the market unserved. I hate it when that happens.


I think this should be encoded in antitrust law.


This is a good point too, more to the ecosystem. I'm not sure there will ever be a mitigation to that.
