Definitely some balance between wanting to give people opportunities and paying them well with being frustrated by outcomes and not feeling like ROI has been there fully. Tech is probably the domain I can speak best to, I think the 300k FC round is a good example. $for$ that probably wasn’t “worth it”. Only 1/3 actually got built so immediately that’s 200k pissed away. The last client nounspace is a genuine effort and I love to see that but I don’t think it became the beacon of nouns x fc that folks hoped for when funding that prop. As a result, people become jaded about tech props, and leads to things like base paint team offering to explore a few ideas in nouns for a modest amount (50k) and they get laughed out of the room. Huge miss imo to fund work class talent with proven track record. So we should fund great talent fairly but also be okay with more accountability and scrutiny
