The Anti-Startup Manifesto

The Anti-Startup Manifesto

Startup and entrepreneurship lost its essence. It became banalized to found a startup and claim to be an innovator when one's only adapting another business model, like a Tinder for X or another marketplace for Y. Only a few really innovate.
The goal for a startup now is to get funding. There's already rounds of funding, like living on unlimited funding is the new ideal for a company. Profits? A sustainable business? Who cares, let's get another round of funding for our totally unsustainable idea!
We need to get back to the roots of entrepreneurship. The roots that made the late XIX's century a period of extreme real innovation, and that led the computer revolution we live in. Real innovation. Not startups, companies! Not unlimited funding for ideas that will never live by themselves, profits and sustainability!
Enough with startups, companies!
