Investors can’t seem to get enough of RJ Scaringe or his ideas. In less than a decade, the serial entrepreneur best known for his EV company Rivian has raised more than $12.3 billion from venture capital firms, as well as from strategic and institutional investors for his three — and counting — startups. If the latest $400 million raise for his new venture Mind Robotics is an indicator, investors are still happily piling in.

This system, which has become a case study in many business schools the world over, has made billionaires out of enterprising young men and women who might otherwise have amounted to very little in life. It has also led to the dominance of its graduates in certain key areas of the economy. It…
