What's your best argument as to why there needs to be more, not less, VCs? Examples:
- More investors, more founders, more growth: twitter.com/eriktorenberg/…
- More investor diversity, more founder diversity
- More economically aligned & interconnected society

More venture capital, doesn't necessarily need to be more vcs

totally. the inverse is true too. i'd argue that some of the benefits could be gained by distributing existing pie of VC.

I.e. many would argue that there are too many VCs in SF, but there certainly aren't enough VCs globally.

Though if founders are the rate limiting step, not sure that more VC fixes anything or creates more growth. Could even hamper by distributing talent, resources more broadly across worse companies

Interesting. Are more VCs more or less likely to lead to more founders in your view?
That more founders may not lead to more growth is a separate but also interesting claim!

Whack ratio: Americans spend almost as much money on lottery tickets each year as VCs invest.

Major VC's become way less risky compared to pre-2010 era. Hopefully more VC's, more chances some of them will go to the real early stage helping more founders to break through.

Slightly off topic: why not more differenter still-private-and-profit oriented kinds of funding risky tech?

More small companies, more innovation, more democratic finance, more diversity of ideas
