Another trite complaint about startups not being cool enough these days. There are plenty of interesting and well funded startups if you earnestly look for them. As for the majority that aren’t interesting to you, well, they don’t owe you entertainment.
The Utopia you describe seems to be “VCs give me unlimited money but I’m not expected to provide them any returns or listen to their suggestions, ever”. I don’t know what to say to that. It sounds like what you really want is to be rich, so you can finance your own experiments.
Like others have said, this blog post would be much more interesting if you described what experiments you'd run if you had money. I think about that myself very often.
Could you name some of those interesting and well-funded startups? I find it really hard to find them naturally but would love to get to know some more.
