> Try pitching a VC on a startup concept that’s about more than money and see how far it gets you.

I'm curious, have you written a pitch to a VC? I've been involved in ours, and it's very much not about the money. It's about the idea, the people, and telling a story. Look at the top VC investments in the last few years. They're all AI. Before that was crypto, and before that was ML.

You're missing OPs point, and I'm pretty sure you're doing it on purpose. Go back and read it again and reply to what he said, not what you're claiming he said

The fact that they mentioned it means they haven’t otherwise they wouldn’t have said it. All the VCs I know want to make money but ALSO want to leave a positive impact on society and the world. The “Do Good” is on the forefront of their minds.

Sustainability. Renewals. Finding more novel and safer ways to do something risky. There’s a lot more that goes into decisions than money. Faith in leadership is another.
