I'm sure that even in a collapse of SV startups, the evil ones will survive. Deregulation machines funded by Thiel and the Saudis aren't going to collapse because some of their cash vanished. The other major genre of startup is R&D department cost cutting, and again I imagine the established tech giants who are doing it would rather just do a cash injection than long term commitments to their own R&D. I don't necessarily think the R&D ones are always evil, but if it's not one of these two major categories I'm not sure the companies are significant enough to matter anyway lol.
