MQ Summit returns 21-22 October in Haarlem - two days covering RabbitMQ, Kafka, NATS, Pulsar, SQS, IBM MQ and more, with real production case studies and a programme committee spanning AWS, IBM, Confluent and Synadia. For engineers and architects building messaging systems. mqsummit.com

True was fortunate to be the first investor in Rafal Modrzewski, Pekka Laurila, and the ICEYE team more than a decade ago. We've had a front-row seat to what can happen when builders keep asking "what if?" long after others stop.

The playbook changed faster than the company. For Gather, the product was working. The challenge was getting it in front of the right people. So instead of following a traditional SaaS go-to-market motion, Mayank Mehta and his team built their own AI-powered growth engine in a weekend.

“There are two emotions a venture capitalist can project onto a founder: fear or safety,” shares Puneet Agarwal, partner at True Ventures. Startups are built in uncertainty. Founders are constantly making decisions with imperfect information, taking risks, and pushing forward without guarantees.

I'll be the controversial one: in this case, if NATS had never been given to the CNCF, I would argue they would be *less likely* to need to pull these shenanigans. They mortgaged their ability to build a lasting business and community to get access to more potential users.

From the CNCF perspective, they have no option than to do what they are doing. Their charter demands it. Their business model demands it. If they let individual stakeholders (even if they are the primary ones) hold them hostage, they won't have a purpose at all.

Well that may be, but while the CNCF was posting a blog that contains quite a few blatantly false statements, and was meant to cause Synadia harm, we were continuing to post PRs and did a formal release of the server yesterday. We simply have different views of what is best for the OSS ecosystem.
