They are trying to build digital sovereignty through open source software. Thinking about the commission from the Sovereign Tech Fund as a VC investment is a bit of a misunderstanding. You're right that VC is all but dead, due to AI, so this is exactly why we need some one thinking about the future or our joint digital infrastructure, rather than profit, to invest in projects like Servo.

Why would I focus towards being an entrepreneur if the state is just going to step in and steal from me after taking all the risk, after giving up time with my family, after taking on all the stress for the extremely small chance of success and if by amazing odds I manage to hit that success the government will knock at my door and scalp the actual payoff for my risk, talent, and years of time despite contributing nothing other than paying a teacher who isn't an entrepreneur and has never run a business to pretend to teach and graduate me on the matter.

And that safety net catches the 99 failures for every 1 unicorn born, right?
The post asked a hypothetical question about human motivation. "Why would I..." It came as a question but presumed that the answer was so obvious that the point would be clear without an explicit answer: with such a policy, people won't bother creating the products that lead to unicorns.
