Disagreements over direction should be solved by making separate orgs/initiatives to go test each approach.

Better than funding “one true initiative” and force people to work together to keep the funding.

The VC funding model succeeds in experimental domains by letting many experiments run at once. Kind of a form of Darwinism. How to do that with funded initiatives is a really interesting challenge.

The impression I have, but I may be wrong, is that investors in Europe want a return on every investment. Failure is not an option. Which kind of choke innovation.

This is not true, the problem is greed and imo a lack of ROI.
