This is interesting. Anti-trust laws prevent dominant market players from tanking prices until competitors fold and are aquired. However these SV funding models allow new players to perform the same role on behalf of the owners of capital. My question: "is it the same owners, or different ones?"
I'll posit: the answer tells us whether we live in a competetive marketplace or monopolistic hell-zone.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoWell the government mostly hasn't been enforcing competition laws for a few decades now, so yeah, VCs can fund startup companies to play loss-leader for a monopoly position. Hell, Peter Thiel put that strategy in his book.
