> The problem with B2B is that it doesn't follow the standard startup model

Is there even such a thing? Anyway, it's not that VCs don't fund B2B startups... they absolutely do, and there are even firms that specialize in that space (or at least have a heavy focus on it). A16Z, for example, are known for investing heavily into enterprise plays:

If there is such a thing as the standard startup model, then I'd argue that it would be the B2B model.

The current mold of web/social/mobile/location startups is the exception to the norm in the history of high tech startups.
