Healthy for whom?

- startups founders?

- angel investors?

- VCs?

- national economy?

- financial markets?

- ...



Hum... I answered that just on the next phrase.

But now that you enumerated more, you can add "national economy" too.

Concerning "And quite likely brings better results for both the investor and the founders.":

That "[it] brings better results" for some groups does not imply that it more healthy for this group. Also the other way round: "more healthy for some group" does not necessarily imply "better results for this group".

In this sense I did not think that this phrase was to be considered an answer to my point.


Hum, ok. You are interpreting "better results" in a strict monetary sense, without accounting for second-order problems from bad deals.

It looks more healthy for both groups. I do expect it to bring better both first-order and second-order results. (Those two are always correlated, and on investment relationships they are very strongly correlated.)
