Decades of low interest rates resulting in wealthy people looking at new places to put their money to make more money, coupled with the phenomenal results that early stage tech investing has seen in the past 20 years, with a bit of "new money" from people who have lucked out in tech and crypto.
I'm not the parent poster, but my guess is much more money chasing returns and thinking of startups as a realistic asset class there.
