    The businesses are all fundamentally flawed, low margin, high cost ventures. Why did they exist at all? Because the funders, “impact investors” provided money to greenwash their consciences. If these ventures made sense, they would exist in other parts of the world. To put it another way, providing money was marketing/PR for the funders.

    The only startup I know from the list is Copia. I thought they were a company.

I have enjoyed the presentatikn and education.

    Let's face it, most of these startups simply want a quick pay day & free marketing for the VCs so they don't really put in the grit, seriousness and strategy required to grow and maintain a business first before moving to funding. Always bootstrap before injecting money!

We gave all these data points to "startups that failed." And now Bill Gates is a regular. Flip the point-of-view and see what they see. I am certain they do not see failure. We see failure.

Are you?that argument is weak compared to the solutions the young man is trying to solve, because there's already popular and solutions that have the biggest peace of the market share doesn't mean that anyone coming into the space needs to revolutionize the industry, iteration comes later according to market weather, don't get me wrong, criticism builds quality and makes them go back to the drawing board, but some are just unnecessary, great episode, wishing the guy all the best
