If you could change one thing about the current startup ecosystem, what would it be?

I completely agree with the comment about mental health written by someone. Often, those who enter a startup early are the ones who suffer the most because they have to do more since there is no existing foundation yet. This leaves room for newcomers who join later, feeling more refreshed and with a (20%) base already prepared for a viable product. Therefore, I would change the evaluation and distribution of the workload, as it remains the same even though the early employees are the ones who suffer the most. I would also change the way we communicate, accepting complaints and suggestions regarding workflow changes that could ease and streamline stress.

Great question! For VCs and incubators to stop turning startups into product factories to be sold to Tech Giants. This stifles innovation and results in what could be great products just become add-on features for tech giants.

grow it slower

Their pathetic lust for becoming a unicorn asap and losing focus from their products/services.

Great question! In the current startup ecosystem, one thing I would love to see is more accessible and effective learning opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs. Knowledge is the key to success, and having a platform that empowers individuals to learn and develop their skills can make a significant impact on their startup journey. Speaking of learning, have you checked out ProApp? It's an edtech application that focuses on helping people learn design and other essential skills to thrive in the startup world. It's designed to provide an interactive and engaging learning experience, which we believe is crucial for anyone looking to make their mark in the startup ecosystem. You can learn more about ProApp and our mission to enhance startup education on our Product Hunt launch page: (https://www.producthunt.com/prod...) Let me know if you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with! 😊

I'd appreciate a digital culture more oriented towards the dream of technology, setting what we mostly have today behind. Who ever dreamt of doom-scrolling, trolls & online anti-social behaviour?

How VCs talk about ”the team” but typicallt spends less time with the founder group than a normal interview process. Also - given how common founder conflicts are - there is very little done to help founders deal with that. (i.e. If I would be investing I would have group coach/therapy as a requirement for founder teams - would definitely increase probability of ROI)
