Yang's Venture for America grooms people to create startup companies. Essentially the graduates of this program are supposed to go into TechStars, or Y Combinator, or some other business incubator and create the next big thing. Web 3.0, or whatever.

The Heritage Foundation is a "research" institution that provides cover for the myriad of nutty conservative beliefs and pogroms, by appearing (on the surface) to do research and analysis using scientific methods (har har har), that Republicans can then quote as legitimate sources to back their goofball plans. Yeah, a memo mill, but one that shrouds its real purpose in a white lab coat bought at a second hand store.

My point was that Yang could create a legitimate counterpoint to the Heritage Foundation.

Not just more tech startups.
