What is a shame about it is that they had a rare opportunity in that they actually had traction and buzz around PH.
If they had taken a different attitude and truly tried to make it THE launch platform, they could have done amazing things. They could have democratized a big chunk of it, and still had promoted positions that could generate revenue for them.
PH can feel a lot like a popularity contest and a SV insider's club, not like a democratization of launch.
Doesn't it just mean that the launch platform space is ripe fo disruption?
