Which scenario is more likely:

(1) Thrive capital becomes the top firm for supporting startups that want to disrupt govn-related industries. It will become common knowledge that the Kushner-Kushner direct channel will be shamelessly exploited by Thrive and their portfolio.

(2) Thrive capital becomes associated with incompetence and dumb money, the type of ignorant bravado that begets wars, environmental disasters, haphazard vetting, creation of opacity instead of transparency, and corruption. Sensible startups will avoid this money because of the taint it will leave on them in 3-4 years when they are seeking public markets.
