Thank you for your comment.

I am glad I am not the only one who is asking the tough questions regarding this problem.

In reality it boils down to replacing 1 income stream provided by Google with one or more new income streams.

That means that Mozilla needs something to sell and quickly.

Or use their VC funds as you said, but we know VC funds need to deploy a lot of capital and then hope that one of their companies makes it big to recoup their investments and eventually make a profit.

I am not sure if betting the entire future of Mozilla on this VC venture would be a wise move to be honest. It's just too unpredictable.

For sure. Like any side bet it should be staged and complementary rather than all or nothing.
