“Simply put, we need plenty of risk capital flowing into the real economy and real startups solving real problems. You see, if we’re living in an environment where small businesses—the real engines of the economy and job creators—are dying faster than they are being born, you start to wonder what’s wrong with a financing system that is meant to deliver the oxygen for new ventures. Do you hear me, derivatives’ traders? By the end of 2019, those guys scored $559 trillion – which would be equal to almost seven times the world total GDP that same year. What can go wrong?” — Victoria Silchenko
