I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power... power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

 - Lord Acton

Startups are often founded by people who are passionate about solving a problem or making a difference in the world. They are driven by a desire to create something new and innovative, and they are willing to put in long hours and make sacrifices so their vision becomes a reality.

However, the startup ecosystem today has become increasingly numbers-driven. Investors are more interested in financial returns than in long-term innovation. This has led to a lack of investment in startups that are solving social or environmental problems, even though these startups may also be profitable in the long run.

As a result, many startups have abandoned their true nature to innovate in order to solve for growth and profitability. This has stifled innovation and made it more difficult for startups to focus on and solve the world's most pressing challenges.

Here are a few. We all know their stories:

In order to change this trend, we need to shift the focus of the startup ecosystem away from just numbers and towards impact. Investors need to be more willing to invest in startups that are focused on solving social or environmental problems, even if they don't have as high potential for short-term financial returns. 

CAIDI is creating an ecosystem where founders can create both great wealth and continuously solve problems that can change the world.
