Sure, a small company without the VC/PE overlords could build infrastructure to support the future of Software Engineering but they would be smashed, stolen, or bought out long before they could be helpful.
I weirdly long for the days before automated trading (that I cut my teeth on) and back to the before times, when you invested in a company for more that a few hundred microseconds.
