If I had a nickel for every person who thinks they have an “original” app idea I’d be a millionaire. I’m skeptical there can be any novel tech in a chat tool someone spent $100k to build. But let’s be generous here and assume his story is 100% true; his app was stolen and it is worth $1 billion dollars to the company. Why waste time in a stupid legal battle when you could be selling your app to one of the 5,000 other airlines on earth that likely have the same need? Delta has just proven how useful it is based on the fact that they built it themselves! I highly doubt Delta will be selling internal tech to competitors, so the market opportunity should still be there. If the founders’ time is best spent in a lawsuit with a single potential customer instead of selling to other customers, I’d say that’s a sign it was never a viable business to begin with.
