**Text:**  
Startups die when they run out of funding.  
DAOs? They evolve.

Why?  
Because DAOs are built on:

*   Shared purpose, not just salary
    
*   Distributed ownership
    
*   Global, permissionless participation
    

A startup can have a great product.  
But a DAO can have thousands of builders, voters, and believers — even if the founders leave.

Web3 isn’t killing startups.  
It’s building **something more resilient**.
