Well I dont think it is. If someone said “let’s democratize manufacturing” in the same sense as YC, would that sound silly to you?
Generally speaking, yes, silly, but I can imagine contexts where the word “democratize” is still unfortunate but points to an actual underlying issue—monopoly and/or excessive power of some company (or e.g. a cartel) over the entire industry.
No, it would sound like a 3D printing startup (and perfectly reasonable).
