> scary time in tech when end-users are literally seen as an unrealized capital asset

That's my conclusion after trying to raise capital. VC and Angels seemed disconnected from the reality and behave as pure financial analyst.

No emotion or even interest on the idea just : "How much ARR ? Churn ?".

Was really shocked how people behaved , but it's better to have a cold shower now than in ten years i guess.

I feel like software industry is now tightly integrated with capital market , it's saddening to see that.

Venture _capitalists_ and angel _investors_ are money focused? Who would've thought it. They want to buy a portion of your business because (they hope) it will make them richer, if they also think it's a good idea that is just a bonus.

When was that not the case?

Just before the year 2000 tech bubble popped? :P So 20-ish years ago.
