Wild to see a blatant copy get $31.5 million. Embarrassing. @avipat_ when I worked in the conference business we had a competitor do this exact same thing. We went scorched earth. Anyone who supported them got banned from our stage. That worked. Everyone in the industry knew. And VC’s: you telling me there isn’t anything to invest in that is original?
