When you invest your time or money somewhere you’re making a decision about your taste, preferences, what you support, and what you want to see in the world.

I like to support builders and the innovations that people bring to the world by spending my time/money on helping new projects get started or succeed just a little bit faster. But I’m still using my personal judgment/opinion. I can’t recuse myself from the outcomes as generically “just supporting innovation”.

I think a lot of the overstuffed ecosystem of startups and venture capital like to hide behind the positive vibes of “supporting innovation” to imagine they’re not responsible for the choices they make. Everyone’s time and money is limited. Spend it on what you want to see in the world.
