Zebra is a great metaphor for the type of companies investors should be funding. What we continue to forget is that technology is supported to help build better societies and communities, and not the other way around, where we continue to get more dependent on it (even addicted to it). Look everywhere people are checking every 5 minutes to see what's on social media. People are more than happy to see and contribute on videos of cats and other meaningless junk, but not on meaningful literature.
