So, a quick comment on VC-funded companies with products in the fediverse.

My company, StatusNet, was venture funded. I don't know how we could have run identi.ca for so long for so many people without that funding.

I think it's hard to get a 10x return in markets where open standards prevail. But I'm happy to see people try.

As long as the fediverse remains diverse and competitive, and community, coop and family servers have a place, I'm not opposed to commercial companies participating.
