New funding opportunities for startups and where the interests of VCs go?

Two weeks ago, @byalexai discussed whether VCs are losing their appeal in the AI era. A few months ago, I personally noticed a lot of hate toward VCs and praise for bootstrapping on X.

It felt like VCs were being demonised: selective investors who take a big slice once a good opportunity appears, and then founders are expected to deliver top results while entrepreneurial freedom fades. That s how it was often framed.

Which companies would you invest in if they were freely tradable?

Some companies are love brands for me, and I d like to support them. Others I see growing, and I d love to ride the wave. :D

Do you have any companies you d like to invest in, but that don t have a public offering yet? Which ones?
