Why is there so much attention paid to the buyer (private equity) and no attention paid to the folks who sold the businesses to them?

There is this weird thing in venture investing:
the line between "crazy, brilliant founders who will build world changing companies" and "crazy, lunatic founders who will lie and cheat and be awful" is very hard to distinguish, especially at the series seed/series A level.
It can lead to false positives and false negatives all the time.

I'd suggest you file a claim in small business court. It will get resolved very quickly.

I think that’s a great point, and I don’t disagree with it. (Although I don’t particularly care about being “interesting” as a value). My point was more that as a parent I want to be responsive to my children instead of deterministic. I want them to find their path, not me to find it for them by declaring that they will be exceptional. My love is not conditional on their outcome of becoming exceptional, and further, an ultimately fulfilling life doesn’t require that either, nor should we teach that it does.

We often worry about how to make our children exceptional, but I wonder of the people studied here, how many were genuinely happy? Shouldn’t we want our children to be happy more than we want them to be exceptional? The two aren’t mutually exclusive of course, but the pursuit of exceptionalism might lead to a less happy life, especially if that exceptionalism doesn’t materialize. I know far too many people pushed incredibly hard by their family/circumstances and burned out fast.

Imagine you are a startup business owner and you have developed a unique product or service.
And then someone comes along and competes with you?

No one is bothered by competition in markets.
Why do we have more or less empathy of this type for some professions?

Lol, this whole discussion is like a bunch of architects talking about how folks shouldn't do DIY projects on their own, and yet... DIY is a huge thing because most people are actually reasonably intelligent and capable of doing things on their own.

Downloading the image worked just fine on an iPad. So not sure what they are talking about.
