While I don't disagree with you at all, the current startup scene doesn't feel organic. So many of these "startups" are severely bloated and should have gone public ages ago.

A simple look at the employee headcount at most unicorns is startling. A startup that's years away from IPO shouldn't have 5,000+ employees. At that point, you lose much of the agility startups are supposed to have in the first place.

The constant inflow of private funding have allowed startups to acquire way too many bad habits and bureaucratic layers.
