I miss the old way of building a startup

The pre stickynotes-and-lot-of-diagram-drawing era, where some friends use to gather in a bedroom/dormroom/garage and binge code their idea just for fun, oblivion to the idea of "unicorns" has gone! That way of startup building was fun.

I feel the present day startup building has become corporatised, where the moneybags have sucked out the fun part by pushing founders to run after the mirage of the unicorn in the hope to get 30-40x return on their investment.
