I wonder how many great products weren’t built because it didn’t fit the venture capital view of a good investment.

It's a good question. 

I'm optimistic community/user funding rounds will provide an avenue when VC isn't the right tool.

20000 $degen for a thought provoking conversation starter

And now think about how much technology and products wouldn't exist if there was no VC that believed in it in a ridiculous early stage

Great software gets built imo no matter what, it just takes longer without capital. A prime example would be neural networks: if there was investment into specialized hardware in the 90s, the deep learning revolution could've probably happened 15 years sooner.

I’m more interested to learn how many great products were built because they never raised VC money.

There is competition among VCs. If there was a single cabal of VCs that ran the world, then I’d agree with you that some products weren’t built because of them. 

Maybe the product isn’t great after all.
