It’s good to see some of the first unicorns being asked hard questions. And new unicorns being minted - huge congratulations to Rent the Runway (a female-founded company encouraging us to ‘Buy less stuff’) and Allbirds (which sells recycled plastic based, gender-neutral, comfortable shoes). But entrepreneurship is still overly romanticized, and the ratio of media coverage for funding rounds to rounds of layoffs still isn’t quite right. It never needs to be 1:1. After all, everyone prefers a happy ending.
