I totally agree that Mapbox has great products. There's no doubt there. My doubt is whether or not the market is big enough to support the development of such products.
My thesis is that "geo services" ventures need to be subsidized or else they can't sustainably exist at prices that developers are today accustomed to pay for.
>But Mapbox without doubt has the foundations of a very sustainable business within it.
Are you sure about that? The world is littered with failed companies with amazing products that couldn't find enough people to sell them to. Just because you have a lot of people who want to buy your $100 bills for $50 doesn't mean you have a strong business.
