Use VC cash to fund your exit. Leverage free tiers, retain data sovereignty via SSI, and scoot before enshittification begins. The venture-backed platforms want to lock you in, extract value, then collapse. Don't be there when it happens. Take what you need, own what matters, and move to sustainable ground.
Take the subsidy. Use generous free tiers, credits, and venture capital subsidies to build your foundation. Extract value while they're still burning cash to gain market share.
Own your ID/data. Implement Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). Keep your data portable and under your control. Never let platforms become the source of truth for your identity.
Move to sustainable ground. When the enshittification begins, you're already gone. Migrate to open protocols, self-hosted solutions, or the next subsidized platform.
