It bothers me that young entrepreneurs see this funding round and aspire to create the “NEXT BIG PHOTO SHARING APP” that takes over the Valley. These aspirations are depressingly low. Where are all the entrpreneurs trying to compete with Google over self-driving cars? How about competing with SunRun’s solar energy systems to power homes across the country? We need to stop encouraging thinking small and give financial backing and media attention to those who choose to aim higher and think bigger. We don’t need another photo sharing app.
