World Eaters: How Venture Capital Cannibalizes the Economy
Understand the core economic structure—Venture Capital—that forces tech growth to prioritize investors over consumers. Learn how this model now harms fundamental sectors like housing and what practical steps organizations are taking to regulate Silicon Valley.
Short Summary
- The VC model insists on "grand slam" returns driven by the Power Law, distorting all portfolio companies toward unsustainable, rapid growth.
- This aggressive, high-risk strategy, optimized for software scalability, now damages non-scalable sectors like traditional housing and local commerce.
- Organizations like TechEquity actively work to implement guardrails over Silicon Valley's influence to ensure tech benefits a wider population.
Catherine Bracy details the transformation of Venture Capital from a tool for positive innovation into an economic force prioritizing investor returns. This discussion explains the negative externalities resulting when VC mandates "move fast and break things" across the entire economy.

This segment was incredible!
As someone who is a strong supporter of Tethics I am fully on board with her and her Tequity.
More examples of rich people 'disrupting' things that affect all our common little lives... man. At least she's spreading awareness as she can. Will we ever be truly free?
Awesome interview!!! Tyvm for being so awesome! ✌️🇨🇦💖🇨🇦🤟
"It just feels like we're all victims of what is about to happen to us" is a great articulation of that sentiment.
Great interview & Info!
