Companies that should exist The structural gap between what venture funds and what the world needs and why philanthropy might not fix it. Anastasia Gamick Mar 10, 2026 187 23 28 Share There is a class of companies that should exist but don’t because the economics don’t fit neatly into any existing capital structure. These are companies that would work on problems of enormous consequence: biosecurity, diagnostics, antibiotics, climate, small scale domestic manufacturing. They’d have real customers, generate real revenue, and compound real value over time - they will even generate real cashflow.
