Could it be that the way we support startups actually undermines their success? As I read this article, I see a lot of parallels between the startup culture and lemonade stands... "In their eagerness to help my daughters learn about private enterprise, they ironically undermined that lesson. Capitalism isn’t sentimental. It doesn’t coddle entrepreneurs. More businesses fail than survive. People think of lemonade stands as representative of pure enterprise, but in enthusiastically supporting them, they deny the true nature of our consumer culture, which rests on both the ideal and reality of competition and ruthlessness." - Slate Magazine buff.ly/1aW3QRN
