A response to Geri Kirilova (she/her)'s question: "What comes next?" The answer primarily relates to recognising the influence that financialisation has had on venture capital since the 1996 expansion of private markets. There are PE firms who more closely resemble the attitude of

I really need to make more concerted effort to use social media… it’s just… not as fun as it was decade ago. <sigh>

Call me old fashioned but I think it’s suuuuuuper lame to brag about being a flamer. (I’m not talking about being gay, pls don’t @ me)
