I don't know. If the venture finance industry has taught us anything, it's that one big win can pay for a whole mess of failures, and then some.
If you tell a bunch of rich people they've got a good chance of financing the next Leonardo DaVinci or Thomas Edison by providing the living essentials to 5,000 people, you could probably get a few to take you up on it. Just make sure you're cutting them in on the profits.
Unfortunately from someone looking from the outside, it looks like the venture industry you talk about is very small and restricted to a few areas.
Maybe one day... but even with companies that come from that culture, normally after reaching a certain point of greatness, many stop helping the solution and give in to the system in pursuit of more and more profits.
I'm very skeptical when it comes to changes in society. I really don't think it'll change anytime soon. At least not for better.
