Possible this is just a marketing piece to generate discussion?
Bolt the david vs Stripe/YC the goliath of SV, reconciling traditional startup pains to a monopoly but they made it anyway...
Some interesting points though, particularly the one where stripe took investment from many vcs in order to block other companies... that could've been to get access to existing networks and sell to those companies too. But I could see how that could be a blocker too.
- pm90 5y agoSeems like the person had been mulling on this for a while and for whatever reason decided today was the time to share his thoughts publicly. If it was a deliberate strategy I suspect it would have been better argued (there’s a few factual errors that undermine most of the argument which any competent PR person would have thought to verify).
