We need a new exchange that focuses on driving profits for shareholders over a longer term especially ones with wider goals. I think there is a market desire for companies that have positive social or public goals but still make sense organized as a for-profit. What we might get is less pan-flash/hyper-growth-startup-IPO and more organically grown companies with a certain amount of staying power and positive social or public goals.

Our current model of “must have quarter over quarter growth” is a good a check in theory but it’s too easy to cut corners in the short term instead of solving systemic, organizational problems which just kicks the can down the road.
