And none of them try to lock customers, partners or decision makers from going away in any underhanded way, right? Just pure offer-the-best-and-they-will-stick-with-us. And if some…

This is great observation and speculation on what could happen and where would it come from. I've had multiple conversations with top-10 VC firm partners during our unsuccessful pi…
