A good crisis should never go to waste, some say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But these seemingly pithy and overly simplistic posts are missing the point. A big, glimmering, successful business is not the point at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The point is catastrophe isn\u2019t just a catalyst for starting a new business, but a chance for systemic change in business. And I believe that we are seeing the earliest stages of a worldwide movement \u2014 a movement of people from an unexpected place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I am talking about the musicians, artists, filmmakers, and content creators of this world who use their creativity to progress society\u2019s voice. And this modern culture class is completely fed up with three-piece-suit business models and royalty-stealing contracts that have blunted their message for years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I am talking about the group of visionaries who have been cheated by the 1950\u2019s-style business models of today, and are sounding a full-throated, William Wallace rallying cry for creative founders to succeed in business ventures on their own, above and beyond the Ubers and AirBnBs of this world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This trend may not be obvious to everyone, so allow me to connect a few dots by going back to the Great Recession of the late 2000\u2019s and looking at not just a big, successful business that was born out of it \u2014 but the people who brought it into this world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Say_hello_to_disruption\"><\/span><b>Say hello to disruption\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>In post-bubble-burst 2009, unemployed white-collar workers flocked to places like MIT and Silicon Valley to funnel their rage at being screwed over by big business into tech startups with dreams of change and the new buzz word \u2014 \u201cdisruption.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Not every group of disgruntled former finance pros found success, but the atmosphere was ripe with risk and fueled by an overall feeling of, \u201cLet\u2019s burn it all down and start over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>One of the most successful of these recession creations was the OG of startup accelerators \u2014 Y Combinator. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Their premise was simple: they would scour the globe for the most disruptive ideas (note \u2014 not companies) created by visionary inventors for the benefit of societal progress and cocoon them inside Y Combinator\u2019s safe-harbor, offering each inventor, corporate-axe-murdering rebel, and hacker a chance to perfect their craft and plan their revenge on the system that put them there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Y Combinator was so successful at mobilizing this group that over the last 10 years, nearly every single \u201cwe\u2019ll make your startup successful\u201d incubator or accelerator program in the U.S. today is a watered-down, sugar-glazed, vacuous version of Y Combinator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But what people forget is that Y Combinator\u2019s first goal wasn\u2019t to be a business. It was to be a <\/span><i><span>movement<\/span><\/i><span>. The founders of Y Combinator did not come together to build a copy of a copy of a slightly different business that already existed \u2014 they wanted to pour jet fuel on the system and then light the match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And they ended up changing behavior for startup founders everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_are_we_now\"><\/span><b>Where are we now?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>It\u2019s debatable whether today\u2019s Y Combinator and their more recent offspring are still true to their original visions \u2014 but the point is that historically speaking, large-scale crises aren\u2019t just a catalyst for generating new businesses, but more precisely for generating long-term changes in how businesses behave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Worldwide catastrophe tends to shake people from their stultifying march down the path of \u201chow granddaddy did it\u201d tradition, take a hard look at the inner workings of the system they are stuck in, and redress the imbalances often caused by greed and old-school thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So, to the punchline: the area of human experience that remains shockingly under-discussed in the world of startups, innovation, and disruption is the arts and humanities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The commercial systems and business models that exist for today\u2019s musicians, inventors, filmmakers, artists, and culture creators are stunningly outdated and stupefyingly industrial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Or, in 2020 terms: we got cool, diverse people making badass music, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, videos, art \u2014 so why TF are we still letting a bunch of rich, old white dudes take all their money and stifle their abilities to say what needs to be heard?

The same rage that flowed through the veins of early Y Combinator founders in 2009 is pulsing within the singers and songwriters who were left out of Spotify and record label negotiations in 2015, 2016, and 2017.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s in the hearts of independent filmmakers and Etsy shop owners who watch industrialized corporate structures take a fat cut off the top of their hard work.
