"Startup" is just short hand for "self-absorbed shitbird(s) playing fast and loose with other people's money".
Some will say those are the little guys trying to add competition in the market and compete with the big corporations. But since they are all VC backed, exploit workers, and just end up getting acquired anyway if they don’t fail, it’s hard to see it that way.
Made the mistake of taking an entrepeneurship internship over the summer at university. Every partnership they had in place proposed projects that basic due dilligence disqualified in seconds, and the lead professor was flabergasted that a bunch of business majors, IT, Design and Engineering majors had the noses to smell bullshit.
Okay, so I was even more surprised we were able to convince the business majors with little effort, but they were mostly seniors. Oh, and the one IT major with a viable product/prototype was ejected from the program.
