"Cancer Capital", ha! Great phrase by Anil Dash (npub16sj…va89).
When people in the Fediverse complain about VCs and Venture Capital, I think they mostly complain about that Cancer Capital, not so much traditional VC. We didn't have that term before, and it's a very useful distinction. Now we need one for non-Cancer VC.
