The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch

NOTE

30-80% of scale product is tech

A significant portion of solutions to various scale challenges, ranging from criminal justice to climate change, relies heavily on technology, often comprising 30 to 80% of the solution. The deployment of technology can dramatically alter cost structures and possibilities in addressing these issues. Silicon Valley exemplifies an environment where corporations and startups are organized to tackle emerging technological challenges, emphasizing risk-taking and the allocation of early-stage capital. The ecosystem fosters both competition and cooperation, challenging traditional views of interaction among competitors. Moreover, the continuous dialogue within the entrepreneurial network enhances problem-solving capabilities, making technology a powerful tool in addressing a wide array of societal problems, although it may not be a catch-all solution.
