- soneil 6y agoI must admit it’s never a good look when a week-old company receives a sizeable federal contract. Especially when the founders are political insiders. There could indeed be perfectly innocent reasons - but it smells funny.
- derefr 6y ago> I must admit it’s never a good look when a week-old company receives a sizeable federal contract. Especially when the founders are political insiders. I don’t see why. A politically well-connected person (previously well-known in their circles for other successful ventures) wants to help get something done; the obvious thing for them to do is to create a new company (for legal reasons, to separate it from their other ventures) and then get people to put money / contracts into it.

Which may have more parallels here than it seems.
