This resonates. The cost to make things has dropped dramatically, but the cost to sustain a person making them hasn’t. That gap creates a quiet selection pressure not for the best builders, but for the ones who can afford to keep going. It feels like the real question isn’t “how do we fund ideas,” but “how do we fund time, focus, and experimentation” before outcomes are obvious. Traditional venture only works for a narrow slice, and patronage/subscriptions only work once you already have an audience. If the next wave of creators is truly broader, funding models probably need to look more like income smoothing than betting closer to grants, revenue floors, or risk-sharing than moonshot capital.
