I mean, insurance is cheap. I have professional insurance allowing me to personally do several million in damages due to a mistake. Or recover your losses if I give bad advice. All for the low cost of 50 bucks per month, purchased through a local dev-co-op. Trust isn’t built by who backs you though. Does it make it an easier sell? Maybe, but as a buyer, if that’s what you’re leaning on to sell to me, I’m going to be put off. If it comes down to two, I’d trial both and care about how well it does before caring about who is backing who. In the end, I might choose the smaller company and negotiate access to source code to hedge them going under. And that sounds like an even better deal than some VC’s trying to “monetize the fuck out of me” in three years.
